lowering Scala - Eibach Pro-Kit springs

Featured Replies

So I'm looking to lower my 2020 Scala with a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs, I'm wondering if lowering the vehicle will impact any other sensors/running gear that may need to be recalibrated or anything like that.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Well, I don't know what spec your car is, because you're not told us. But changing the ride height will need the suspension adjusting.

what do you mean by "suspension adjusting"

You may know it as "tracking", "alignment", "(suspension) geometry"... Anyway, it's correcting the length of adjustable links, settings of eccentric bolts and positions of adjustable mounts (as applicable to the car) to get the suspension geometry within manufacturer's tolerances.

Using lowering springs can also have negative affect on ride quality. Can make the car more harsh and bouncy when using stock struts/shocks and they will go bad far faster. Not sure if there are struts/shocks available for lowered suspension on Scala.

 

Otherwise you need wheel alignment but also who ever installs them has to loosen and retorque some of the control arm bushing or they'll be overstrained from the car sitting lower which then causes them to fail prematurely.
