When installing lowering springs, more stress is added to typically already-worn components within your vehicle's suspension.
While the set of lowering springs will fit on the OE suspension components, we highly recommend upgrading to a shock/strut combination to better handle the added payload.
Not changing out your worn OE struts and shocks can lead to a harsh ride and potentially bottoming out over small to large bumps in the road because of their inherently softer damping. They are not meant for operating with less travel and with the increased resistance of a stiffer spring. A popular combination is a Bilstein B8 shock/strut solution that is suitable for most applications and is recommended when installing lowering springs.
If you're interested in finding which components apply to your vehicle, please start be selecting your vehicle at fcpeuro.com:
Once your car is added to the selector, there are a couple of important ways that we advise correct fitment.
The first is the "fitment indicator" shown on the Product Page after selecting a part. This box is below the "add to cart button" and has two states. It will either say " Yes this part fits" or "Part may not fit, click to verify".
Sometimes the green box will be accompanied by extra fitment notes. These notes may be independent of the information gathered by the vehicle selector. IE: VIN-specific options, need to be taken into account when determining overall fitment.
