i dont think may support ang aftermarket suspension para lowering ang
mga shop sa Pilipinas but if you really want to do that , you can check the
company in the web , BELLTECH . They are the best out there sa lowering ng
mga trucks at SUV .

newbee , i just checked the web www.belltechcorp.com ,wala silang
available na suspension para sa Toyota or Nissan . Sa domestic market lang
sila .

Just ask around any shops or wheel n tire stores , they might have
something for you , goodluck ulit .

Cutting springs for that lowered look is one of the most ignorant and irresponsible things to do. It's not only stupid, it's downright dangerous.

I know I'm coming on too strong with that statement, and am probably inviting flames, but I stand by it.

When you cut springs, as someone as said above, you basically have the same spring rate but the distance is shortened. When you finally compress the springs to its fully compressed state (which is highly likely with cut springs), your spring rate jumps all of a sudden from, say, 100 lbs/inch to (insert absurdly high number here)/inch -- no springs.

Think of it this way: if cars didn't have springs (which is the effect of having your springs in its fully compressed state and riding on the bump stops), how would your car handle? If you hit a bump, or when you're cornering hard (or not too hard in the case of cut springs), you will end up losing control (because your car effectively has no suspension travel anymore) and SLIDE your car putting yourself and the people around you in real danger.

I understand that people put aesthetics as a high priority, and I don't mind that as long as SAFETY IS NOT COMPROMISED.

So, the next time someone says "putol mo na lang springs mo! mas mura pa..." Think about how "cheap" that really is when you're in the hospital, or worse, someone else is in the hospital because of that false economy. And think of burial costs, too, if you were going at a slightly fast speed.
