    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.
