What Makes Coilovers Better Than Lowering Springs?
Unlike lowering springs, coilovers replace the factory shock and spring assembly with a fully integrated suspension system.
Benefits include:
- Adjustable ride height
- Improved handling
- Better suspension control
- More aggressive vehicle stance
- Greater suspension tuning flexibility
For drivers who want both appearance and performance improvements, coilovers are often the preferred solution.
Key Features
Adjustable Ride Height
The maXpeedingrods system allows ride height adjustment from approximately 1 to 3 inches lower than stock.
Benefits include:
- Reduced wheel gap
- Improved vehicle appearance
- Lower center of gravity
- Better cornering stability
One important note is that this system is designed for lowered applications and does not retain factory ride height.
Performance Spring Rates
The included high-tensile steel springs feature:
| Location | Spring Rate |
| Front | 10 kg/mm (556 lb/in) |
| Rear | 6 kg/mm (336 lb/in) |
These spring rates are significantly stiffer than factory suspension, helping reduce:
- Body roll
- Brake dive
- Acceleration squat
- Excessive suspension movement
The result is a more responsive driving experience.
【High Tensile Spring】 Front: 10kg/mm (556 lbs/in) & Rear: 6kg/mm (336 lbs/in). Under 600,000 times ceaselessly test, the spring distortion is lower than 0.04%. Plus, the special surface remedy is to reinforce the durability and performance.
【Lowering Kits】 The height is adjustable for 1-3 inches, allowing you to have a more aggressive stance.This design helps get rid of turning noise and also improves steering feel and response.(NOTE):DOES NOT keep to Original Ride Height.
Improved Durability
According to the manufacturer, the springs have been tested for more than 600,000 compression cycles with minimal deformation.
Additional durability features include:
- High-strength steel construction
- Corrosion-resistant coating
- Precision-machined components
- Reinforced spring design
These features help extend service life under daily driving conditions.
Enhanced Steering Feel
Lowering the vehicle and reducing suspension flex often improves steering response.
Benefits may include:
- More direct steering feel
- Reduced body movement
- Improved turn-in response
- Increased driver confidence
This is especially noticeable when compared to aging factory suspension components.
Ride Quality Expectations
One of the most common questions about coilovers involves ride comfort.
Compared to factory suspension, drivers can expect:
Advantages
- Better handling
- Reduced body roll
- Improved cornering performance
- More aggressive appearance
Trade-Offs
- Firmer ride quality
- Increased road feedback
- Less suspension travel at aggressive ride heights
Most enthusiasts consider these trade-offs worthwhile for the performance benefits.
【Twin-tube Structure】 In comparison to mono-tube construction, the twin-tube has longer stroke and higher height adjustment, and they’ll provide you with a more comfortable riding experience by reducing the pressure on the joints
Installation Considerations
Installation requires removal of factory suspension components.
Recommended tools include:
- Floor jack
- Jack stands
- Socket set
- Torque wrench
- Alignment equipment or professional alignment service
After installation:
- Set desired ride height
- Verify suspension clearance
- Perform a professional alignment
- Recheck hardware after break-in period
Skipping alignment can lead to uneven tire wear and reduced handling performance.
