A new infographic illustrates four ways to lower your ride. The team at All-Fit Automotive put together this overview of the pros and cons of these four modification options, hoping to enlighten those looking for a DIY stance project. The graphic gives just enough information to make someone stop and think before rolling up their sleeves.
“Whether you’re a weekend track racer or just enjoy better driving, lowering a car can improve aerodynamics and handling,” says A.J. Dudon, CEO of All-Fit Automotive. “But leaving the lowering to a professional is really your best bet. The Internet is full of lowering-gone-wrong, oh-no examples. I’m a car enthusiast and hate to see anyone cause unintended problems on a vehicle they were trying to improve.”
In the interest of fairness, the team wanted to cover both the pros and the cons of each lowering option. Here are some highlights form the graphic:
- Complete Coilover Kit – Aside from the obvious hindrance, cost, there is the con of navigating curbs and speed bumps without causing damage. When professionally installed with adjustable coilovers, this is a great option.
- Lowering Springs – Springs don’t include a tuned spring or shock and are not adjustable. On the upside, the cost is much lower than a complete kit.
- Cutting Stock Springs – This option can be dangerous and is not recommended. It can make your car ride substantially worse while not improving handling. The option really has nothing in the “pro” category. Be warned.
- All-Fit Bumper Lip – While this option doesn’t actually lower the vehicle, it does create a lowered look. Maintaining ride height means less risk of undercarriage damage and the lip itself flexes and withstands the rigors of daily driving.
“Stanced vehicles look fast and aggressive, but actually lowering your car can be tricky,” says Dudon. “With experience and a $1000+ coil over kit you can make it work, but these factors eliminate a lot of people who want this modification. We created the chart to show everyone some more affordable options and maybe prevent some catastrophes.”
Adding an All-Fit Lip Kit can give a vehicle a lowered look without all the expense, or can enhance the look of a lowered vehicle.
