Spring time

[tank1080]

Hey like someone elses thread also said time for new springs in the rear. I'm thinking about lowering springs but the only thing is, everytime i hit a bump now my exhaust hits the ground. Are lowering springs stiff? or would they just be like my worn out springs?

Yes, lowering springs are a lot stiffer than standard springs. I can barely push the front and rear down on my 7th Gen due to the stiffness of the aftermarket springs. You can still bottom-out when going over large bumps, but it takes a lot more force than the standard springs. If you're still concerned, then you can upgrade your shock absorbers too.

If you're bottoming out then your struts need replacing as well.

You should have mentioned that in your original post then.

My reply was based on an assumption that you struts were worn.
