Eibach Lowering Kit
It is guaranteed that employing lowering kit does not affect the shock angle. Lowering your vehicle drop its center gravity and make it look and sleek and mean. You can prove this yourself by trying Eibach lowering kit which is available for practically 2-wheel drive car, van, truck, SUV and even for 4-wheel-drive trucks. These vehicles probably have coil springs in front hence, lowering kits are as simple as a swap to shorter coil springs. It is not practical to heat or cut your springs to lower the vehicle. This will seriously reduce the ride quality and handling abilities as well as affect the suspension geometry. This also goes to mean that you will not be able to steer and your tires will wear unevenly. With shorter coil springs, the nose is dropped a couple of inches. They are oftentimes stiffer than the springs they replace in order to take control of the suspension's movement faster since there is less suspension travel. Improvements on handling on the other hand are made with stiffer springs. They however basically make the ride harsher. As a remedy to this problem, a number of companies offer progressive rate coil springs which start out relatively soft but get stiffer when compressed. A set of dropped spindles is also an option to lower the front end. This will not reduce your vehicle's suspension travel. You can also try a set of lowering control arms that usually provides a 4-inch drop. Actually, you can combine dropped spindles and lowering springs to slam the front end as much as 5 inches if you wish to go lower still. For the rear, more and more vehicles feature leaf springs out back. You can replace spring shackles and hangers to move your vehicle's leaf springs higher to lower this set up. Doing this can bring the body and frame closer to the axle housing though this will reduce the suspension travel. Another method is a mere swap to re-arched leaf springs. They however provide a softer ride which implies that they will reduce the vehicle's hauling and towing capacity.
