Lowering Springs

If you're looking for an easy way to upgrade your ride, lowering springs are an excellent option. Not only do they give your ride a more aggressive look, but they can also improve its handling. And, unlike some other options on the market, they tend to be more affordable since they require fewer parts.

Of course, it's important to choose the right springs for your vehicle. A suspension lowering kit is designed to work with factory shocks, and they're typically stiffer than stock springs. As a result, they can provide a more responsive feel when you're driving. 

At Springrates, we have a great selection of aftermarket lowering kits for cars available, including shocks, struts, and coilovers. We also offer easy payment plans through Affirm and Shop Pay. If you’re lowering suspension, get in touch with us for the best advice. We can help you find the right lowering springs for your car. Contact us today to get started.
