5. Setup and Installation

Installation of lowering springs involves disassembling the vehicle's suspension system. Due to the complexity and safety implications, professional installation is highly recommended.

General Steps (for professional reference):

1. Safely lift and secure the vehicle on a hoist or jack stands.
2. Remove wheels and access the suspension components.
3. Carefully disassemble the existing strut/shock assemblies, using a spring compressor to safely remove the OEM springs.
4. Install the Godspeed lowering springs onto the strut/shock assemblies, ensuring proper seating and orientation.
5. Reassemble the suspension components, tightening all fasteners to vehicle manufacturer's torque specifications.
6. Reinstall wheels and lower the vehicle.
7. Perform a professional wheel alignment immediately after installation to correct camber, caster, and toe settings.

Failure to perform a wheel alignment can result in premature tire wear and compromised handling.

6. Maintenance

Once installed, these lowering springs require minimal specific maintenance. However, regular inspection of your vehicle's suspension components is recommended as part of routine vehicle maintenance.

• Periodically inspect springs for any signs of damage, corrosion, or fatigue.
• Check all suspension mounting points and fasteners for proper torque.
• Monitor tire wear for any uneven patterns, which may indicate an alignment issue or other suspension problem.
• Keep springs clean from excessive dirt and debris.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience any issues after installing your lowering springs, consider the following common points:

• Unusual Noises (Clunking/Rattling): This often indicates loose fasteners, improper seating of springs, or contact between suspension components. Re-check all installation points and ensure adequate clearance.
• Uneven Ride Height: Verify that the correct springs are installed on the correct corners of the vehicle and that they are properly seated.
• Poor Handling/Excessive Tire Wear: This is a strong indicator that a wheel alignment was not performed or was performed incorrectly. A professional alignment is critical.
• Harsh Ride Quality: While lowering springs will generally result in a firmer ride, an excessively harsh ride might suggest worn out OEM shocks/struts that are not adequately dampening the spring's movement. Consider upgrading to performance shocks/struts.

For persistent issues, consult with a professional automotive technician.
