Underestimated grant. How to lower the Lada Granta? Pros and cons of lowered suspension. Disadvantages of lowered suspension on Grant

Not long ago, a new car called Lada Granta appeared in the production of the Russian automobile industry. What can be said about the engineering and architecture of this car?

Lada Granta was originally created with the aim of obtaining the status of “People's Car”. A beautiful, comfortable, but discreet car quickly coped with its task: within a few years of its existence, the car was immediately sold to all segments of society.

Lada Granta is loved by both mature and younger generations. Yes, here's the caveat: Grant's classic, simple architecture quickly became boring to the owners. There is little uniqueness; the boring design combined with the “incubator” conveyor of the entire Russian automobile industry leaves no choice but to resort to subsidies for fine tuning.

In this article we will talk about undervaluing a car, considering all possible options. This type of tuning is in fashion everywhere today. After all, any car owner will appreciate this: the planted Granta looks much more advantageous than its sister with the stock suspension!

Ways to understate Liftback Grants

1. Buying an air suspension on a Lada. The average cost is from 37 to 50 thousand rubles, depending on the place of purchase and technical characteristics.
2. Front and rear suspension kit with mechanical ride height adjuster. If necessary, we independently adjust the suspension height, reduce (increase) the stiffness of the shock absorbers.
3. The most cost effective option is to install a lowered suspension kit. We dismantle the standard shock absorbers and springs and install new ones on the factory mounts. The lowered Lada Granta is ready.
4. Low-profile tires: changing the car's shoes to a low-profile range. Cheap and cheerful, but not advisable.
5. Installation of lowering springs, which are sold at retail. We select the height according to the ground clearance.
6. Trimming one or two coils on factory springs.

What does car tinting look like in percentage - from the darkest 5-15% to 75% (GOST and tolerances)

Tinting car windows protects the driver and everyone in the cabin from the sun's rays.
It also prevents fading of seat upholstery and other interior components. Serves as a thermal insulation shell. In 2016, clear rules and standards were introduced that regulate the rules of tinting; in the article we describe the requirements for tinting in order to protect you from paying fines for violating the rules of tinting. We will also show you what 75%, 50% or 5% tint looks like on a car.

Implementation of cutting springs or installing Technospring?

Here everyone will choose their own, the main thing is that the work is done efficiently and correctly. There are a lot of options, some put Technoressor -30 in the back, and -30 in front, others - the same. Some people like the option of cutting springs, and they also cut at their own discretion, some 2 or 3 turns, here it is important not to overdo it.

Some argue that replacement doesn’t even require a lift or pit, all you need to do is hang the wheels as much as possible. The rack assemblies are removed, after which the springs are dismantled. Marking and trimming is carried out. If you are going to lower Vesta by installing ready-made shortened springs, all you need to do is remove the old ones and install new springs.

An important nuance. During this event, it is necessary to trim the rubber bumpers of the shock absorbers. You should trim depending on how much you shorten the springs.

Afterwards the assembly and checking of the work results is carried out. The car should stand level without distortions, the gaps in the arches should be the same. If there are discrepancies, it means the work was carried out with violations. Repeated disassembly and carrying out calculations and measurements will correct this.

Let's start with the most expensive way to lower or raise a car - air suspension

. This method is unlikely to interest the masses, so no details:

Adjustable ride height suspension kit

. Such sets are also not very popular. It is worth noting the stiffness of the shock absorbers, which is adjusted automatically, and if necessary, it is possible to change the ground clearance yourself, without removing anything. On the one hand, it’s convenient: in winter you can make the car taller, in summer - lower, but on the other hand, the price is high.

The most popular way to lower a car (the smart method) is a lowered suspension kit

. It includes shock absorbers and springs. You dismantle the old kit, install a new one, and you get a competently lowered car.

Low profile tires -

This is a quick way to get Granta down. The main thing here is to install only those tires and wheels that are suitable for your car (compatibility of wheels and tires).

If you install lowering springs

Without replacing the shock absorbers with suitable ones, then we get many disadvantages, and only one advantage - budget.

It’s even easier to lower the grant - cut the springs

. Such tuning saves time and money, but further operation of the car will still come back to haunt you.

For example: Lada Granta lowered by 9cm: By the way, lowering the car makes sense when alloy wheels are already installed on the Granta.

The optimal understatement is considered to be up to -50. Only up to -50 the spring on a standard strut will not force the body. You must understand that this type of suspension is more suitable for on-road driving rather than off-road driving. You will have to drive over any bumps with greater caution.

Also, along with lowering, it makes sense to install low-profile tires, for example hankook tires.

How to choose tinting for urban conditions

1. Pay attention to multi-layering. The more layers of coating, the stronger and more durable it is. In this case, the visibility parameter is taken into account.
2. Light transmittance, that is, the percentage level of darkness. This parameter is described in the previous sections on gradations: from almost transparent to the darkest, beyond which the silhouettes are barely distinguishable.
3. Protective properties against temperature effects. Athermal films occupy a special place in this indicator.
4. Coating color . This already relates to the area of ​​taste. It is the owner who decides whether to decorate the windows to match the color of the car, in contrast, or in accordance with a certain style - retro, metallic, hi-tech or other. The main thing is that the tinting does not produce glare or distort colors. so that everything can be clearly seen through it.

All these methods of forming tinted coatings make it possible to obtain different percentages of light transmission from films - 70-75%, close to transparent, to the darkest - 5-15%. Car window tinting creates a pleasant variety in the appearance of the car. At the same time, this is a good protective option for increasing safety when driving a car, as well as creating comfort for the driver and passengers.

Analogs of front shock absorbers VAZ 2190 and 2191

Many car owners prefer foreign analogues, which are superior in quality and more attractive in price. But even here, not everything is so simple - when going to the car market, you should beware of Chinese counterfeits, both domestic and foreign spare parts.

The most popular shock absorber struts among car enthusiasts are shown in the table:

SS20 SS20194

Pilenga SHP27910

Option #2: Installing a complete suspension kit

New suspension with lowering

The process is similar to above:

1. After hanging the car and removing the wheel, unscrew the fastenings of the shock absorbers, hub, ball joint tip, suspension arm, and silent blocks.
2. We remove the parts one by one, installing new sets.
3. We complete the assembly, the ground clearance is lowered by 3 - 7 cm.

Note to the driver! Service center technicians do not recommend installing the air suspension on the Lada Granta yourself in “garage” conditions. Due to the complexity of the design, the work must be carried out by professionals. Subsequently, quality assurance will be provided.

Well, I’ll check in here. Replaced it as a set. Everything else is a collective farm www.drive2.ru/l/5451862/ www.drive2.ru/l/6260204/

Are these struts complete with springs already assembled?) And there are barrel springs on the grunts in front. Why do you have these?) Can you post the website?)

Yes, the complete sets were sent, everything was assembled, I didn’t take the barrel ones, the regular ones are softer. I bought it here postavto.ru

I changed everything as a set, not for appearance, but for control, the car drives completely differently

Here the struts are -70 and the springs are -50, it’s kind of timid that they don’t fit everything) well, or is this normal. I think, on the contrary, you can set the struts -50, and the springs -70)))

for struts (short-stroke), the steering knuckle is shifted down by 20mm, in short, the spring also becomes -70. This is a typical scheme on KX. PS “-50” “-70” is the difference in the compressed springs compared to the standard ones. It’s not at all a fact that the car will sit this much.

So, do they play a big role?

everything should be coordinated simply

I changed everything as a set, not for appearance, but for control, the car drives completely differently

Well, or -70 struts in front and cut the rear. On the original racks.

Well, will the rod fit into position, or will it hang on the bump stop, what’s the point?

In the basic configuration, the ground clearance of the Lada Granta Sedan and Lada Granta Liftback is 160 mm. The clearance height is quite enough to overcome all road obstacles.

Low Granta Liftback

Tuning enthusiasts often practice the so-called understatement of Grants. To do this, non-standard suspension elements are installed, and the vehicle's ground clearance is reduced by 30 - 70% of the base one.

The advantages and disadvantages of tuning and how to carry it out will be discussed below.

Tinting 50%

It is characterized by the fact that the interior creates a feeling of soft light that does not irritate, but soothes the eyes. The interior and passengers are visible from the outside. At the same time, visibility from the inside is somewhat impaired, so fifty percent film is not allowed for covering the front windshield. It can distort the view and prevent the driver from seeing obstacles on the road or nearby traffic.

Disadvantages of lowered suspension on Grant

• limited vehicle operation area;
• mandatory presence of a smooth road surface, absence of gravel, crushed stone, coarse and medium-sized stones;
• restrictions on the number of transported cargo and passengers;
• frequent need for technical inspection and maintenance;
• premature failure of air suspension elements during frequent use in winter.

How best to make an understated Grant:

• seek qualified assistance from service station specialists;
• install components only under warranty;
• exclude handicraft repairs.

Car tinting 20%

The darkening is significant. When looking at the car windows, silhouettes are visible, the faces of people sitting in the car are hard to see. This type of film can be placed on the windows of the rear hemisphere . In the evening and at night, darkness of this level creates discomfort when driving; you may not see obstacles or objects near the car. Road traffic accidents are possible. For optimal control of the car, rear-view mirrors are required on both sides of the body - it is impossible to see what is happening through the rear window.

Conclusion

The lowered stance on the Grant is beautiful, but not practical if you live in rough terrain. In everyday life, such tuning is not useful. The final decision is up to the car owner.

Types of car tinting according to technical parameters

• Colored. They are colored with pigment. According to state standards, it is required that the driver’s perception of the primary colors that are used to regulate traffic is not distorted. These colors are: red, yellow, green, blue, white. Distorting their perception is critical on the road. Films consist of several layers. Each of them affects the level of light transmission and the strength of the material.
• Metallized - they contain the thinnest layer of metal, most often aluminum. It perfectly repels light flux and protects against ultraviolet radiation. Protective and tinting layers are interspersed with a layer of metallized coating. Used for internal gluing and external tinting.
• "Infinity" . In the production of such a film, metal spraying is used, which improves the physical properties of the material. The high quality of the layer application avoids distortion of the driver’s visual perception.
• Combined , gradient, darken and protect from ultraviolet radiation. The combination of metallized and colored coatings is achieved using a gradient layering method. The top part has a metal coating, the bottom remains the same coating. From the outside it appears as a shading transition from the dark top half of the glass to the light transparent bottom layer.
• Spatter - multi-layered with metal application. The production method is based on the introduction of metal components into the structure of the material. They belong to the category of athermal, since they effectively reduce solar activity. They protect against heat in hot weather and hypothermia in frost. They are characterized by increased wear resistance.
• Athermal films , which delay the flow of heat through glass, protect up to 90% of the temperature of the sun's rays. Such a film can be transparent; it can be placed on the front and front side windows of a car without any problems. Made with a large number of layers. Each of them is aimed at blocking its own spectrum of rays: ultraviolet and infrared. Thanks to this, a good level of protection is achieved from the hot sun, and in cold times - from the penetration of cold air.
• Spatter-metallized . A combination of 3 types: spatter, metallized, colored. The metal is present both in the structure of the material and is contained in the intermediate layer between other options.
• Chameleon. They shimmer in different colors under the rays of the sun. From purple to different shades of blue, cyan, and other colors. They protect the driver and passengers from sun glare and heating inside the cabin, that is, they have athermal properties. Light transmission characteristics are less pronounced than other types.
• Anti-vandal. They have glass strengthening properties in addition to UV protection. When hit by a hard object, the glass does not scatter throughout the cabin; the fragments collect on the film coating.
• Carbon. Films made from a new generation of modern material with improved physical and mechanical characteristics. The technology of spraying graphite in a vacuum was used. They are characterized by increased wear resistance. They don't burn out. No glare. Can be used not only for car windows, but to protect the body.
