Lowering spring size vs stock

[narsnail]

Pertains to AWD vehicles more so, were your front lowering springs similar in size to the stock springs? Were they shorter?

Just doing some troubleshooting, thinking I have springs meant for a 2.0 l or diesel version.

I'm not lowered so I can't say but from past experiences on other platforms it's not uncommon for lowering springs to not be the same height as stock springs if that is the redflag you have.

Not entirely just spring length. Advertised drop is just .8 and .6 inch, in reality mine dropped almost an inch on the front and .5 in the rear. Makes me wonder what model it was designed and tested on. That much for tilt on an AWD vehicle has to be causing my issues ( still vibrating after new axles).

Considering trying the ark springs or going back to stock, just don't think these were meant for AWD.

the measurements are usually for the RWD but not sure what Storm advertised. I don't think springs would cause vibrations by themselves. if anything the higher front drop would bring your weight distribution a bit further front, making for a bit more understeer, but unless something is wrong with your suspension elsewhere, that shouldn't cause a vibration.

Yeah wondering if my wheel hub is bent or it's a wheel bearing. I'm going back to stock to see if that changes anything.

My H&R springs were shorter. Typically, lowering springs will be shorter and stiffer than stock.
