Lowering springs help..!

[Jatt99]

hello pakwheelers...i need some help reguarding lowering springs for my car...i have a civic 2005..i want to drop it a bit..around 1.5 to 2 inches so that it levels out perfectly...
previously i cut a coil or two from the original springs on a suggestion of a friend...i must say that was the worst decision i made with my car..still regret it..!
suggestions required for the following:
Handling experience,
Ride comfort,
Which brand to go for,
Price range,
and any other overall pros or cons...
people already using them..please do post your experience.
also posting current pics with current height.

Maxpower lowering springs are flooded in our markets they are around 8k i guess.
Try out some aftermarket shop or dubai autos

heard they're really 'hard'..?

[sinner__]

u will find them in pesh ! lowers the car about 1-2 inch ! 3-4k price ! and a bit stiff from stock springs

dont cut of coils from orignal springs it has plenty of drawbacks like wombling at high speed etc and the hydraulic damper (shock absorber) is wornd out very quik ! better to use lowerings

not harder then coil overs(adjustable shocks)
but not that hard u can say 20% harder from orignal springs
actually they are pressed i.e the coils have less distance in them than the orignal ones ! orignal ones have more distance between its coils ! thats why lowerings are a bit harder than orignal ones

non i would say
they are made for lowering
so why would be drawbacks ?
if u want them ill look around in pesh and ask about the price but estimate is 3-4k for kabali lowering springs branded ones

sure thing bro!...that'll be great...!
but compared to the height shown in pics what would be the difference wen lowered..?m using 225/45/r16s so any thought that the tire might touch the side body..?

when i find them ill compare them with orignal springs and let u know

any idea about lowering springs for ke70 corrolla?

lowering springs with shock absorbers

if you put only spring with stock absorber the absorber is compressed all the time which leads to it failing early

lowering springs with shock absorbers ur reffering to coil overs !
the absorber with orignal spring is too compressed all he time ! the thing is that when u cut the orignal spring IT HAS MORE DISTANCE BETWEEN ITS COILS and when the spring becomes short then it becomes weak and absorber is wornout early ! the lowering springs HAVE LESS DISTANCE BETWEEN THIER COILS so they are a bit harder than the orignal springs ! and the absorber in stock spring is already compressed all the time as whole body wieght is on it ! when u jack the car u would observe that the shoch is being expanded so it is all the time compressed ! the reason for failing early is that the absorber goes up and down very much i.e when the spring is weak ! but with lowering springs as they are a bit harder and has less distance in coils so the absorber dosnt goes up and down too much ! i cant explain in writing anymore ! should be xplained best practically

[nfssaad]

Correct

heard they're really 'hard'..?

Thats something you will have to compromise on, all aftermarket springs will be like this.

[nfssaad]

they are hard to prevent body roll
hence the much improved handling
