What is the correct way to modestly lower a daily driver?
When it comes to lowering springs that drop the ride height by an inch AT MOST, I'm completely lost.
With a spring height so close to stock, can I swap them out and call it a day?
Do I need to swap out dampers as well?
And yet others say I should just go with coilovers because they're made to work as one package deal.
And what about end links? Apparently I need to put in adjustable ones to make sure the sway bars aren't preloaded at the lower ride height.
No one on the interwebs can seem to agree on the proper way to do it. My goal is to improve aesthetics and handling without sacrificing comfort and daily-drivability. Not compromising is especially important to me because I live in a region with harsh winters and many potholes.
A rear sway bar upgrade is the one thing that will be a clear benefit with little downside. Other than that, I just don't know.
Pic related, trying to figure out what to do with my golf and this looks pretty ideal.
