Lowering springs
Hey guys I'm about to lower my car and I'm wanting to know how much of a difference it makes on ride quality. I had a car once that was lowered and rode like shit. So if u could please point me on the right direction that would be awesome. I just dropped about 6k on it so I'm a bit short on cash.

Nothing to worry about, not much harsher... at least with the Hotchkis set.
Just make sure you time your bushings! Search what that means if you nothing about that. |

Contact Ricardo at Phastek bro. He'll guide you in the right direction. I am running a set of springs that are phasteks house brand, rides great. Little stiffer than stock.

I have Hotchkis on my SS. They dropped it about 1"-1.25". It looks great and the ride quality is excellent! Good luck OP!
 P.S. As Spec said, get those bushings timed.

Lowering springs are a good idea since it can make your ride more planted and firm under different conditions, but it still depends how much low you want to go.

I'm thinking I want the BMR springs 1.4 on front 1.0 on back.
One more question for you guys. I saw not to long ago some one having issues with their alignment after they lowered it will it have to have an alignment? I think somone posted like specific instructions for it but can't remember Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk |
