supercmaxer Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm thinking of lowering my c max and I'm pretty sure that the shocks are the same ones from new. The question is do I change the shocks as well as lowering springs or just go with what's on the car and hope they last. I have seen coil overs which are cheaper as a whole if I were to replace the shocks separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troy45 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 You could check out what Bilstein kits are available, they do uprated dampers plus full kits with Eibach springs possibly for both standard ride height and lowered. Well recommended :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
