LOWERING SYSTEM COST FACTORS

COST FACTORS FOR lowering your vehicle

The Complexity of a Vehicle's Suspension

The complexity of a vehicle's suspension system can vary significantly depending on the make, model, and trim level. Some vehicles, especially luxury or high-performance models, may have more advanced suspension setups with additional electronic components. These systems may require specialized tools, expertise, and more time to install the lowering kit properly, which can affect the overall cost.

Complexity of System being Installed

Different types of lowering systems have varying levels of complexity. For example, installing lowering springs tends to be less involved compared to installing a coilover suspension or an air ride system. Coilovers and air ride systems may require more intricate adjustments, additional components, and more labor time for installation, which can impact the overall cost.

The Vehicle's Condition

The condition of the vehicle can also affect the pricing of a lowering kit installation. If the vehicle has rust, seized bolts, or other issues, additional time and effort may be required to remove and replace components. This can result in additional labor charges or the need for extra maintenance or repair work, which can increase the overall cost of the installation.

Additional Services or Modifications

Sometimes, customers may opt for additional services or modifications in conjunction with the lowering kit installation. These could include alignment adjustments, suspension component upgrades, or addressing any pre-existing issues in the suspension system. The cost of these additional services will be factored into the overall pricing of the lowering kit installation.

LOWERING SYSTEMS FAQS

HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT LOWERING YOUR CAR?
WE HAVE ANSWERS

Is it illegal to lower your car too much?

Some states require a minimum headlight height. Each state’s laws are different. We suggest reading up on your state’s laws. In our experience, nice cars that are modified do not get bothered by law enforcement. More often than not, you may get pulled over just because they want to check out your ride. At the end of the day, it is your call whether or not you want to risk the potential tickets.

How does suspension affect car handling?

Lowering any vehicle will provide better handling since the car has a lower center of gravity.

What are the cons of lowering my car?

Though there are more pros to lowering a vehicle, of course just like any job…there are a couple cons. If you are someone who is more accustomed to a softer suspension that cushions bumps, you may want to reconsider having your vehicle lowered. It may cause uneven wear on the tires, potential bottoming out (scraping) and rubbing of the tires on the vehicle's fenders. Please discuss your options of lowering your car and how you can avoid any of these issues. There is always a height at which once you go below, you will start to scrape, rub fenders, and feel a difference in ride quality. As far as ride quality and scraping is concerned, that’s the price you have to pay to have your car look how you want it.

Do you offer a warranty on vehicle suspension systems?

We offer a LIFETIME warranty on workmanship. If something is wrong, we will take a look at the car and if it is something caused by our install. We will fix it free of charge. If there is an issue with one of the parts installed, the warranty is solely up to the manufacturer. Most manufacturers have Limited Warranties meaning they only cover their parts for so long. Each manufacturers warranty is different. *Our Workmanship Warranty is immediately void when the components are altered or touched in any way.

Lowering Springs

Lowering springs are designed to reduce ride height and improve your car’s stance by replacing factory springs with shorter, stiffer ones. This simple upgrade reduces body roll, enhances cornering stability, and creates a more aggressive look. While cost-effective and ideal for casual enthusiasts, they may result in a firmer ride and less adjustability compared to other suspension options.

Coilover Kits

Coilovers combine coil springs and shock absorbers into a single adjustable unit. They allow for precise control over ride height and damping stiffness, letting you tailor your vehicle’s handling and comfort to your preference. Coilovers are favored by performance drivers and tuning enthusiasts seeking a perfect balance between daily drivability and track-ready handling.

Air Ride Systems

Air ride suspension replaces traditional coil or leaf springs with adjustable air springs powered by compressed air. This setup offers full control over ride height, allowing you to raise or lower your vehicle on demand. Air suspension is especially popular in custom and show vehicles, offering a smooth ride, versatile stance options, and programmable presets for different driving conditions.

Drop Shackles

Drop shackles are a simple way to lower the rear of trucks equipped with leaf spring suspension. They maintain stock ride comfort while lowering your truck’s rear stance for a leveled or more aggressive appearance. This is a cost-effective option for mild lowering without compromising everyday drivability.

Air Bag Suspension

Airbags offer dynamic suspension control by adjusting ride height and stiffness based on load or preference. Installed on coil-sprung trucks, they help maintain proper stance while towing or hauling. Airbag systems are a top choice for heavy-duty use, comfort tuning, and trucks that carry variable loads.

Coils & Coilovers

For coil-sprung trucks, we offer two options: smaller coils or adjustable coilovers. Lowering coils reduce ride height while maintaining factory damping. Coilovers, however, provide full ride height and stiffness adjustability for better performance, handling, and control. Both are ideal for street trucks and drivers who want precision suspension tuning.
