|
|
I know that there are numerous topics about dropping your car but I think my case is a bit different.
I recently put 17" rims on a toyota fielder that originally had 14" rims and the car was very low. I put on the bigger size to avoid the fear of having to go over things with my bumper or under get hit/scratched.
Now with the 17"s the car looks a little too high.... only a little....... I was wondering if there is anyting I could do just to make it lower by like 1 probably 2 inches? But I DO NOT WANT TO COMPRMISE THE COMFORT OR DURABILITY of the original ride. The car rides really soft and smooth....
I dont want a bumpy or rough ride....
I appreciate your advice, and if you can recommend a professional place to get it done and an average price of the job and equipment......
Thanks alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

confirmed.
1.5-2 inches is the average drop achieved through lowering springs.
Tein
H&R
Eibach
B&G
all good.
stay far far away from persons who modify shocks, cut/heat springs etc etc. |

if the fielder is the same springs as the Altis i would say Megan racing
teins go with Htechs not the Stechs i really wouldnt use teins though (they are linear rate springs and dont take weight too well)
h&r is good use the race spec
eibach proline |
