How do you lower a car?

Answer 1

there a few different possibilities depending on your car and budget. first you have to decide what suspension type you have - the three main suspension types are coil spring, torsion bar and/or leaf spring. to lower coil spring suspension you just buy replacement springs, or if your budget will stretch that far go for adjustable platform suspension. (alternatively you can get your angle grinder out and cut them - but not recommended) with leaf springs you can buy lowering blocks which go in between the spring and axle, lifting the axle up into the body of the vehicle, thus lowering it (cheap option) the better (and dearer option) is to get the leafs reset which flattens them, thus lowering the vehicle. and finaly, torsion bars - the more complicated type to lower. some cars you can wind them up(or down) by using a ratchet to wind up a bolt, or another type requires you to remove the spline from the suspension and rotate the shaft a couple of splines, and put it back together, lowering the suspension.
