Install lowering springs without sports shock absorbers?

Lowering springs are a popular tuning measure to improve the appearance and handling of a vehicle. But many people ask themselves the question: Is it possible to install lowering springs without installing sport shock absorbers?

When are sports shock absorbers necessary?

With a lowering of up to 30 mm, you can generally continue to use the original shock absorbers. However, from a lowering of more than 30 mm, we strongly recommend the installation of sport shock absorbers. Why? The original shock absorbers are designed for the standard height and suspension travel of the vehicle. If you lower the vehicle, you are working outside the specifications of the standard shock absorbers, which can lead to a harder ride and increased wear on the shock absorbers.

Advantages of sports shock absorbers

Sport shock absorbers are specially designed for lowered vehicles. They offer you the following advantages:

• Improved handling thanks to firmer damping
.
• Longer service life, as they are adapted to the reduced vehicle height.
• More safety thanks to optimum coordination between spring and damper.

Conclusion: From 30 mm lowering, sports shock absorbers are indispensable

For lowering up to 30 mm, you can use the standard shock absorbers, but for any lowering beyond that, we strongly recommend the use of sports shock absorbers. This prevents premature wear and allows you to enjoy sportier driving dynamics.
