6 Best Lowering Spring Brands. 2023 Edition.

Have you decided you want to change the stance and appearance of your car?

On a budget and don't want to make the spouse upset?

Well, A quality set of lowering springs is a great idea. Give your car a mean lower stance while maintaining a ride quality even your mother in law won't complain about.

Like anything else in life, information and knowledge are key.

Knowing which brands of lowering springs to consider will start your project off on the right foot.

Don't be tempted by no name kits from Amazon or eBay that seem too well priced to be true. 

You get what you pay for.

Inferior lowering spring kits can be made of less than desirable metal compounds or they can be wound incorrectly, leaving you with a car that doesn't sit evenly, and can ride harder than John Travolta in the movie urban cowboy.

The most important thing to look for when shopping for a set of lowering springs for a daily driven street car is to make sure the springs are "progressive rate" in design.

This means the springs were wound so the very top of the compression cycle is compliant enough for a comfortable ride on the street.

Do not buy a set of "linear" for "race" springs. Your car will ride so stiff not even your dog will want to ride with you.

This quick blog post will give a rundown of the top 6 lowering spring brands we recommend in 2022. 

You can't go wrong with any of them as they are proven to be high quality, long lasting and are engineered to fit and perform flawlessly.
