What it does

Lowering springs drop the car a fixed amount and work with your existing shocks. Worn suspension and steering parts show up as clunks, wandering, uneven tire wear and a vague feel; fresh parts restore control, and performance parts sharpen it.

Installation & tips

• Use shocks in good condition with new springs and get an alignment after.
• Shocks: Springs work best with healthy dampers.
• Alignment: Ride height changes alignment.
• This part affects how the vehicle stops, steers or holds the road. If you are not sure how to fit it, have it installed or checked by a qualified mechanic.
