Is It Worth Installing Lowered Shocks on Standard Shocks?
Model: (Various brands) Various
If the question is whether it makes sense to fit lowered springs on standard shocks, the answer is definitely: yes. Firstly, manufacturers create these sports springs specifically to be paired with standard shocks. On the other hand, standard struts are designed to handle lowered springs well. The limit is about 40 mm; naturally, you should consider that over time they will last a bit less than a sporty setup, but not by much. Remember that sports springs are progressive, meaning they are comfortable during the initial part of use, after which they offer much greater resistance. This is justified by a sporty driving style, which requires the vehicle not to lower too much, and it also helps to preserve the shock absorber itself. It is also a relatively inexpensive modification that increases the vehicle's safety.
