Lowering / Highering a car???
Hey guys, I am interested in lowering my car, but I live in Chicago and we get alot of snow during the winter. I have heard that there are lowering kits that let you lower and higher your car whenever you want. Is this true? If so, can anyone give me any info on this or suggestions? Im sorry, but I know absolutely nothing about suspensions on a car, etc. so please be somewhat simple about it. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

What is the difference between those and how much do they cost? Also, what brands would you recommend? Thanks![hr]

Rep Power: 0 Just know that when you lower or higher your car your car will not ride the same. It will ride bouncier. If you buy coilovers or springs to lower your car make sure to buy shocks because you factory ones will blow and your car will ride like sh !t. Coilovers are adjustable springs. You can raise or lower you car. Air suspension will lower or raise your car at the push of a button. You ride on air and not springs.

Rep Power: 0 What brands do you guys suggest if I buy Coilovers and new springs? Do they come in packages together or you have to buy them seperate. Any info is appreciated guys.

Rep Power: 416 seems like your really new to all this, please read the Suspension FAQ
you might have a problem with coilovers as they probably use salt on the roads and the salt will mess up the coilovers. even with air suspension, not only does it cost ALOT(around 1500-2500) but the bags or the cylinders might get messed up as well. i'm not 100% sure if its true with all coilovers tho since i live in sunny california i dont really have to worry about it.
