This article is overview. It discusses common ways how to understate the machine. Technically, to explain in a few words and give specific advice on the modification of the vehicle is impossible.
To the question: "Why are cars understated?" - the answers are as follows.
To speed machine and ease of operationbrought her own vehicle to the racing car, invest in it will have enough funds. To improve quality indicators only expensive modification is capable. It is unlikely that owners of VAZs will be able to re-equip this.
Improving driving performance? Ride with a low suspension on the Russian roads - it's doomed to a car for quick wear. Bumps will touch the bottom and it is unlikely that this will increase the speed.
Beauty and fashion ... There is nothing to argue. Everyone chooses the design of the machine himself, and if the low car is a dream, then there is nothing to say against this argument.
Decided to understate - we are looking for ways.
An overview of ways how to understate the machine.
The above methods require economic costs. And how do those who want to save money understate the car?
Where can I understate the car? Those who have the opportunity to purchase a vehicle "on order" receive an understated factory assembly machine. It's not necessary to explain that factory modification is expensive.
Qualitatively mount the understated suspension can be in the SRT, there can also reinstall the springs or cut them. Some pruning springs and improving are engaged in their own garage.
Loading into your own trunk something heavy to reduce the ride height does not require any special room, no qualification.
Before you lower the suspension of the car, it is worthremember that the designers of the model provided the optimal combination: reliability-compliance, so you need to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the technical characteristics of the machine.
Failure to install the suspension may causedeformation of the whole structure. Having decided to reinstall the suspension, it is better to spend extra money, but to buy the kit together with the factory springs provided for installation in a particular working unit.
Cutting the springs yourself, even after reading the manual, you need to keep in mind: the sensitivity of the spring and the strength at the time of modification are changing. And to predict how, is quite difficult.
If there is an opportunity to address to professionals, it is not necessary to neglect it.
If after studying the ways, howunderestimate the machine, the choice is made in the direction of shortening the springs, then you need to have an idea of the difference between a shortened spring and a factory-made part.
Appearance of the car from what they stand theresprings, does not change. But during the movement, having installed self-clipped springs, you feel uncomfortable. The car vibrates, every pothole you feel on yourself. The machine very quickly becomes unusable, the suspension is destroyed, the body is deformed.
Factory pendants are made fromhigh-strength steel, cold winding method. Due to their special strength, they perceive the shock load for a smaller stroke of compression of the suspension and operate without shrinkage. Their service life is longer than for cut springs, and thanks to their installation the machine is not deformed.
Springs of factory manufacturing can be selected independing on the brand of the machine that you want to modify. They do not weight the car and improve its driving performance, do not interfere with rapid acceleration and do not contribute to increasing fuel consumption.
Of course, when installing such springs, you need to think about the shock absorber. It is desirable that the modification and re-equipment of the car involved professionals.
Someone like understated cars. Photos of them are placed at their head, and the ground clearance of their own car is lowered, they think that a tall car is unaesthetic. Someone thinks that understating cars is unreasonable, especially in off-road conditions. The decision is made by everyone.
But you need to remember that lowering the car should not pose a danger either to those who sit behind the wheel, or to others. And this happens only when the modification is executed qualitatively.
