Lowering Springs For Better Car Response And Handling

When you use your car, ideally you should have the same control over it, as you have parts of your body. It is said of a great tennis player, the Racquet is an extension of the player's hand.The player can manipulate Racquet same speed and agility that the player can control it.

Similarly, if you want a safe and easy control of your car handle better and react quicker. In contrast to our body parts, which begins to move as soon as we command them to do, as car parts, take some time. This is because our command travels through the mechanics of the car until it reaches the part, which will then begin to obey it.

For example, if you are using the steering wheel command the front wheels turn left they do not turn left, but there is a slight delay. This is not very visible under normal driving conditions but in racing it is a very important consideration.

Lowering springs lower the suspension of your car. This reduces the height of its center of gravity and the car hugs the road better. It is easy to understand that the higher center of gravity of the less stable the car. The center of gravity in a pile of books is high, and they can be made to pass easily. But if only two books which lies a second, gravity is low, and the book on top will fall slightly. Similarly, by lowering the center of gravity in your car you get a more stable ride. Response time decreases also since the upper and lower parts of the car comes closer.For example, during cornering the car will not roll so much.

Lowering also give your car a great low-slung look. This gives it a sporty racecar like to appeal.You would have seen very low road hugging cars racing on TV shows. You car will get a similar look with lowering springs. Combined with other look better products such as racing body kits your car can get a fantastic new look.
