Product Information

Full details

The Kilen Sport Lowering Springs (KL966418) are designed for drivers seeking improved vehicle dynamics and a sportier stance. These springs safely lower your vehicle by up to 50mm, enhancing road handling and reducing body roll, braking dive, and acceleration squat. While they offer significant performance benefits, their moderate lowering means they are primarily focused on driving dynamics rather than extreme aesthetic changes, and compatibility with original shock absorbers is key.

FAQs

Can I use these springs with my existing shock absorbers?

Yes, these Kilen sport springs are specifically engineered to work with your vehicle's original shock absorbers. For enhanced performance, they can also be used with upgraded gas shock absorbers.

How much will my car be lowered?

The Kilen sport springs are designed to lower your vehicle by a moderate amount, typically between 20mm and 50mm, depending on the specific vehicle application.

Will these springs affect my car's comfort?

While the springs increase stiffness for better handling, the lowering is moderate. The primary focus is on improved driving dynamics. Some reduction in comfort may be perceived compared to standard springs, but they are designed to maintain reasonable ride quality.

What is the manufacturing standard for these springs?

Kilen springs are manufactured in accordance with ISO9001 & ISO14001, and in a TS16949 environment, ensuring high quality and process control.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Yes, special tools are always recommended to safely compress the springs during installation. Attempting installation without the correct tools can be dangerous.

Is a wheel alignment necessary after installation?

Absolutely. A wheel alignment check is mandatory after installing sport lowering springs to ensure proper handling, tire wear, and vehicle stability.

What kind of maintenance do these springs require?

The springs are coated for corrosion protection. Regular visual inspection for damage or rust is recommended, especially in areas with harsh weather or road salt. Clean gently if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle sits too low or too high after installation.

Double-check that the correct springs for your vehicle model have been installed. Ensure springs are properly seated in the spring pans and that no other suspension components are damaged or incorrectly installed. Verify wheel alignment.

Unusual noises (clunking, rattling) from the suspension.

Inspect all suspension components, including bushings, mounts, and the seating of the springs. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Check if any protective rubber sleeves or isolators are missing or damaged.

Poor ride quality or excessive harshness.

Confirm that the springs are compatible with your vehicle's original or specified shock absorbers. Sometimes, a mismatch can lead to harshness. Ensure the correct spring rate was chosen for your vehicle type.

Vehicle pulls to one side.

This is almost always an alignment issue. A professional wheel alignment must be performed after installing new springs.
