Three ways to lower your car! (lowering springs, coilovers, bags)

[JohnnyDoeDoeDoe]

Worth mentioning that any lowering will affect your suspension geometry unless you make changes to the control arms

[geoffsails]

Or in the Japanese fashion, take the springs out entirely and weld the shock at your desired ride height.

Project 3000GT is finally underway, a few clips from the upcoming coilover install made it in the vid 🤫

Funny thing about 3000GTs and coilovers, I had a 95’ manual with a dohc motor, dailyed it for like 4 and a half years. But for 3 and a half of those years were on a set of Maxxpeeding rods, then bad boys lasted me through junior year of highschool until i was 20. Best part is I spent 250$ on them and they never gave me a headache, knew guys with 3KGTs on race lands and teins and they were blowing theirs up once a year. I put my name on Maxxpeeding rods now because of that car



I just wanted to let people know they’re not as bad as they seem, it’s just people who don’t know how to maintain and appreciate cars that make these things seem cheap and unreliable

i like how the airbag shocks are so expensive he is talking about and my 1980 camero has a pair for 120$ and work great

I loved how he fed the oil to that suspension like a baby😭❤️

Subbed because of the 3KGT in the background. Had a 93 Stealth TT, awesome cars.

the thing i like about air suspension is that it allows you to have air horns as well

There is actually a very much overlooked third option that gets overlooked a lot. Ground control makes a coilover conversion for aftermarket struts that give you a somewhat in-between coilover and strut/spring combo. Allows for an adjustable spring perch for ride height and you can use it with adjustable dampening struts or not. Allows you to use more road compliant dampers with the adjustability of a coilover. Coilovers are terrible on a daily where I live so I go this route for most street cars I have owned.

[GeorgeTsiros]

important bit about coilovers is that they are _rebuildable_ . The OEM shocks in my copen are one use. If they go flat, you throw them out.

[jacobvanhalteren]

lowering springs (sport springs) and a good pair of shocks. Too many people buy cheap coilovers which a good spring and shock is better than, and don't need a good full coilover anyways

[meanral]

love to watch em loose bumpers later :D

[lazarom]

I always wanted to rub all the lower pipes and exhaust of my car against the asphalt and dirt roads until it explodes, so thank you for these options

[frezr]

btw, KW offers in combination with the Coilovers something called HLS, Hydraulic Lift System. It is almost like an air suspension but with the better driving characteristics of a KW V3 or V4

[Stefan-jbhq]

Coils are the best in my oprion thay do a realy great job and not so much expensive .

[strattuner]

AIR BAGS, even put them on my trike, SMOOTH

[jaykyllah]

Gotta pair the lowering springs with the correct shocks (still under $600 for both). For example: Skunk2 lowering springs with skunk2 sport shocks. Works well for daily driving, feels smooth and comfortable.

[thatslegit]

remember to actually check yourself if lowering a car is a good thing. there is a point where its feels a bit better vs beating on the bumpstops. also invest in roll bars, always makes a much bigger difference
