What are the benefits of replacing short springs?
2 Answers
Replacing short springs has the following benefits: 1. The car body will become lower, making the appearance more aesthetically pleasing and sporty; 2. The risk of car tire rollover will be reduced; 3. The steering will become lighter, more agile, and more precise; 3. As the car body becomes lower and closer to the ground, the driving experience will be more stable. However, there are also drawbacks to replacing short springs: 1. After replacing short springs, the ground clearance will decrease by 3-4 cm, resulting in reduced passability, so extra caution is needed when entering underground garages or going over speed bumps; 2. The suspension will become stiffer, reducing comfort, especially when driving over bumpy roads where the jolting sensation will be more noticeable.
Honestly, I initially changed to lowering springs just for the looks, and the car does look way cooler now! The lowered stance is immediately noticeable when parked, giving it a much more aggressive presence than the stock setup. At high speeds and during cornering, it feels noticeably more stable with less body roll. But don't just do it for looks – you've got to be extra careful on rough roads. Speed bumps and parking garage ramps have become absolute nightmares; what used to be passable obstacles now result in scary scraping sounds that make my heart ache. Fuel consumption? I haven't noticed much difference. The main benefits are the improved aesthetics and increased cornering confidence – totally worth it!
