I was a noob back in the day in the 90s. I thought I was so cool when I lowered my car. Hit a bump and destroyed my whole exhaust system.

When I lowered my car, I was expecting a lot of things to break but the one thing I didn’t expect was having both my fender linings and my engine splash cover to fall off on the interstate😂. Its scared the shit out of me while I was going 90 on the interstate

@FitmentIndustries 6 лет назад

YIKES how is the car holding up now??

@eulisescampos4655 6 лет назад

Fitment Industries its great, to be honest the lining has been the only problem I’ve had, I try my best to avoid all the shitty roads and pothole but so far that fender lining has been the only thing to fall off on me even though I have my coils almost maxed out 👌🏻

Hi. I'm thinking about getting some Tein coilovers for my 08 infiniti g37 coupe. I think it would look dope. I had a question though. By lowering your vehicle does it affect the life of your Tires?? I heard that it does.... Would love your input....

@atej6611 5 лет назад

John Kuwae I got a low car with a -4 camber in the rear and -2 In the from with 0 toe all around and I can say my tires don’t look to much different tbh it hard to notice. Just get an alignment after your coilovers and have them zero out your toe cause toe will kill more then camber.

@russeldavid6032 6 лет назад

In my 350Z, I think the only lowering I'll do is the rear just to level the car's height. Just the spring mount mod.

@VeryBadReputation 5 лет назад

Lowering will bring tie rods, axles, endlinks at weird angles. Most sport cars have adjustable arms, if yours doesnt you will need other control arms for wheel alignment. Lowering changes dynamic weight movement front to rear, to low rear for example might give push after apex turn. The beauty of car suspension tuning 😋

Just adding my two cents if you're using lowering springs instead of coilovers the struts and shocks you use should be taken into consideration, twintube vs monotube.

Slamming your vehicle definitely is a lifestyle. And you WILL inevitably ruin/break things over time. But I'll be damned if it isn't addicting. Stanced my first vehicle over 10 years ago and still going since. Thought it'd be a fad like altezza tails and indiglo gauges...but it's straight up heroin.

That Moist Tender Area Between My Nuts And Fartbox. Did it to my summer car, and having a blast with it. Been goin 6yrs now and all I did was swap the original front spoiler with a cheap aftermarket one. let it scrape. Other than that, I take it kinda easy so I don’t hurt it on shit roads.

People commonly associate springs with "cheap" but they do have their benefits. They are especially nice if you winter drive your car. They won't seize and you don't need to deal with regularly cleaning your struts like coilovers.

If you want to drop the front fairly extreme like 4 inches with lowering coil springs and or drop spindles, how do you deal with the issue of the tires rubbing the inner wheel wells.

What about those who don't necessarily want to "slam" their car to the ground, rather a 1" to a 1.5" drop max just to remove some of the unwanted fender gap? I have a set of KYB struts that are waiting to go in but the only problem is I can't find lowering springs anywhere that will give me the desired stance I'm looking for. And please don't say cut the springs because I don't have the equipment or the know how for that.

@brettrobinson7486 6 лет назад

Step six: get as many adjustable componets as you need. Do some research on what your car does when you slam it in terms of wheel alignment. When I dumped my scion frs the rear went from -.5 camber and 0 toe to -3 and -5 camber and alot of toe in and alot of toe out. Because of that you’re going to want some adjustment so you can have the looks and actually drive straight

@FitmentIndustries 6 лет назад
