What are lowering springs?
Modern car suspension usually employs coil springs to support the car’s weight and allow the wheel to move up and down relative to the cars chassis. It is these springs alone that govern the ride height of the car. Fitting shorter springs reduces the ride height of the car – it’s as simple as that! What are dampers? Dampers (also called shocks or shock absorbers) work hand-in-hand with a cars springs. They reduce oscillation of the suspension. Without them the springs would allow the vehicle to keep bouncing up and down after hitting a bump. If you were to push down on the corner of a stationary vehicle you will notice that the suspension will compress slightly. When you let go the vehicle will rise back to its original state and come to rest very quickly at its original height. If you tried the same thing on a vehicle without dampers fitted you would notice that the vehicle would keep on bouncing up and down, coming to rest eventually, but having taken a lot longer to do so.
