hey i was just having an argument with an mate an want you guys advice, is it stupid to put lowered springs in a car without doin lowered shocks/struts? Obviously its going to be a bouncy ride but can it do any damage? |

Yes its stupid to put a lowering spring on a standard shock! Ther harder than standard springs and wear the shocks out quicker!

thought so, but he was saying that the shock can 'explode' because of the pressure, is that true?

Wont explode,ul pop the seal n gas/oil wil leak rendering da shock useless as it cant presurize. I disagree abit wit lee.Its best 2get da whole kit but shortr springs n normal gas riders is ok 4evryday use.It only reduces ur shocks stroke.Say ur shock stroke 70mm,if u drop ur ride by 40mm,u only hav 30mm of dampnin left,thus ul hav a stifr ride

I work 4 gaz shocks 4 5yrs, so i do no a bit bout shocks n that as i use to build them! Its the fact the springs are harder the wears them out not the length! And i havnt gota started on how its guna change the camber! Tryes only last weeks if u dont get shorter ajustable lower arms!
