Any lowering spring recommendations?

[K.Dellosa]

Hi sirs,

I am planning to purchase this year a lowering spring for my Honda City 2019 model to show that sporty look. I am newbie to this and do not have any idea at all. Any recommendations (brand, shops, location, et al.) and Pros and Cons for this idea.

Thank you in advance mga sirs.

unsolicited advice.
i'd look at my route first, to see if the lowered car will be able to traverse it.
it is interesting to see lowered cars, traversing humps in a slow, diagonal manner.

Its already low...how many fingers is the fender gap? My suggestion is...buy a set of bigger wheels 1st and low profile tires.. use a wheel calculator for this, dapat close to the orginal width

Lowering the ride means making the ride stiffer. Also, if the stock shock absorbers are not meant for a lowered ride, you also need to get a new set of shock absorbers.

As Big stated, the City/Jazz platform already sits low. Lowering it further, you might find it hard dealing with potholes and humps.

If you really wanted to do it, then do it properly with the right stuff.

Don't buy lowering spring, masyadong old school na yun.

Buy KW variant 3 or Bilstein PSS9 coilovers, not just for show, it's a go.

Or better yet, i can hook you up to a friend who do air suspension.

A set of Teins or any branded lowering springs will do.

It won’t hurt your shocks if you lower it 1-1.25” but if you slammed it of course you’ll bust your shocks.

With regards to lowering springs vs coilovers, its a never ending argument. Personal preference kasi yun. From experience with both, di ko rin masabi kung alin gusto ko.

Oks sana yung coilovers but with the City's pedestrian performance, medyo overkill na. Kung Civic RS pa siguro or Mazda3 2.0L, yun mas ok to maximize its grip.

Medyo matigas din yung coilovers, ride comfort will be compromised.

I doubt quality coilover brands like Ohlins, KW, Bilstein even bothered to do the City. Tein perhaps. The FlexZs are EDFC compatible. Check the local Tein dealer, Riken Motor Sales on City-specific products.
On springs, Swift does quality ones, even custom. Eibach(prokit over sportline), H&R, Tanabe, Tein(HTech, not STech) are good options. Check the respective F/R spring rates & drop to set your expectations. A mild drop & rates close to OE won't hurt.
If you opt air, make sure you set your alignment at the height you intend to constantly run. Ignoring this will compromise tire & suspension life.

Just to be on the practical side, it is better just keep the car in stock setup. No pun intended but making an appliance car look sporty just makes it ricey.

It is much better to get bigger rims (17") and putting on decent grippy tires. It will have a more positive effect on looks and performance.

Bai, if you want a sporty ride, then you should buy a sporty one in the first place. It is easier than buying an appliance ride and modding it.

Thanks for the advise sir. My routes have less speed humps in Laguna, however, it's different when I am cruising in Alabang especially in Friendship Road.

Wow! I never thought that a lot folks will be replying to this thread. I've learned a lot. It should be a matter of decision making. Thanks for the heads up and advise of what will be the Pros and Cons.

Thank you all.

My setup b4 was koni yellows and tanabe springs..circa 2000s, drop was 2.25in..last kong pina lowered was a 2nd gen 1.5 jazz with bilsteins, 1.25 drop all around.. now most cars have minimal fender gaps..just get bigger wheels, pero dapat same size ang buong wheels at tire combo

mga paps, question. pag bibili ng lowering spring, universal na ba yun? and sa brand lang nag differentiate?
or talagang may lowering spring model for a specific car?
like . Tein for Altis 2005, Tein for Honda FD 2014, Lovell, Eibach for Vios, Maxspeed for Civic or etc. . . salamat

Brands have specific springs for certain models. However, vehicles from the same platform use similar springs.
