STANCE / RIDE HEIGHT

SEE IT LOWERED,BEFORE THE SPRINGS.

Ride height is the hardest mod to picture and the most annoying to undo. Preview the drop on a photo of your own car and decide with your eyes instead of a forum thread.

Lowered

WHY GUESSING GOES WRONG

Every car has a point where the arch gap stops looking neglected and starts looking intentional — and a point beyond that where it just looks broken. Where those points sit depends on your wheels, your body lines and your car.

01

Arch gap is car-specific

A 30 mm drop transforms one car and barely registers on another. Seeing it on your own bodywork tells you which one yours is.

02

Wheels and height are one decision

Lowering changes how a wheel reads, and a wheel changes how a drop reads. Try both in the same garage instead of committing to them separately.

03

Know the look you are paying for

Springs, coilovers and air are very different budgets. Decide which look you actually want before you choose which hardware buys it.

FROM CAMERA ROLL TO TUNE BAY

PREVIEW THE DROP

One photo, a few directions, a decision you can defend.

  1. 01

    Add your car

    A side or three-quarter shot on level ground shows ride height best.

  2. 02

    Pick a stance

    Choose a direction — subtle, street or full show — from the tune catalog.

  3. 03

    Judge it in context

    Compare the drop with your current wheels and with the set you are considering.

QUESTIONS

01Can I see my car lowered from a photo?

Yes. Upload one photo and TuningLab renders the lowered version of that same car, keeping your paint, wheels and surroundings.

02Does it tell me how many millimetres to drop?

No. It shows you what a look does to your car. Exact spring rates, drop figures and geometry are questions for your suspension supplier or workshop.

03Can I combine a drop with new wheels?

Yes — that combination is the point. Build the version with both and compare it against your car as it stands today.
