Cutting stock springs to lower car.
Cost of cutting at sidewalk "talyer" 800 + 150/spring cutting charge.
Cost to replace blown shocks due to cut stock springs. ~1800x4 = 7200 + 800 labor =8000.
Add that to the 1400 you spent to cut your springs = 9600.
Add 750x4(cost of replacement springs)= 3000.
That would be 12600.
That doesn't include the gas & time you waste to get the parts you had to replace.

In perspective, a set of H&R sport springs used to cost 10500.

plus: an option to go back to stock again and sell your lowering springs or vice versa... walang sayang.

guys, tanong lang po. if i buy lowering springs, then i should get gas shocks instead of fluid? bakit po? thanks.

gearspeed,
Hindi ba binabasan lang ng leaves ang spring or gumagamit ng lowering block?

Grail.
It is primarily for better handling and to avoid 'bottoming out' the suspension when you hit bumps.

pansin ko lang..most modern cars (even my 97 familia) gas shocks na..does this mean hindi na kelangan palitan?

sorry po at ot na

..errr...basta, wag tipirin ang pag lower kasi mas magastos. period.

mag2nd hand na lang pag bitin sa budget..

ako rin nag pa cut ng springs dati... dahil mahirap pa mag hanap ng lowering springs dati pang corolla. Soobrang tagtag... as in tumatalbog ako habang umaandar.. hassle. Lowered yung car for a yr, and ang bumigay lang naman (fortunately) is the bump stops ng shocks.

Nagpalowered na kase ako.Ang ginawa nila sa likod nilagyan lang nila ng tatlong lowering block. Sa unahan ko cut springs lang 2 putol dahil marami pa naman yung ikot ng springs ko...Matagtag nga lang kapag hindi maganda yung road..Pero balak ko na maglagay ng lowering springs sa unahan na kahit hindi maganda ang road hindi siya matagtag...

Kung merong kayo maadvise na pagmaliit na kotse na lowering springs at shocks..Sabihin niyo naman kung ano brand?...Thanks...
