What are the pros and cons of short springs?
1 Answers
Short springs have the following advantages and disadvantages: 1. Advantages: The vehicle's ground clearance is reduced, resulting in a noticeable improvement in stability during high-speed driving. Additionally, short springs generally have a higher damping coefficient, which effectively suppresses body roll during cornering and lane changes, allowing for faster cornering speeds and increased driver confidence. 2. Disadvantages: After installing short springs, ground clearance decreases by 3-4 cm, leading to reduced off-road capability. Extra caution is required when entering underground parking or crossing speed bumps. The suspension becomes stiffer, reducing comfort, especially when driving over rough roads where the bumpy sensation is quite pronounced.
