After installation, you can see that the front wheel hangs poorly, but the rear wheel hangs like a normal car.

The installation went like clockwork. When the car is on a jack, you can see that the suspension is not hanging, but is normally fixed as if it were on a foreign car. If you have Priora wheels, then such a lowering will take place without consequences in the form of friction on the rear bumper. On Kalina Sport wheels with a lowering of -70, on uneven roads the tires rub against the edge of the bumper. Either you need to cut it or order it... In terms of comfort: basically the same as on stock. Of course it holds turns perfectly.

Thanks to my engineer, the installation went perfectly:

And a few more words and photos about an even landing. In order to sit evenly, you need to put springs at the rear -70, and at the front -50... Let's look:

And now -70 in a circle:

It sat down exactly at -70 in a circle. Springs can be installed with the same lowering! Perhaps it's the Dump struts or supports... Addition: In fact, the seat is not level... Visually, yes. But if you measure it, the difference is 2 cm. The back is higher. So, the metal disc has already been purchased.

It turned out somehow fresher:

I asked for negative camber on the front wheels. Removed all caster washers. Result:

A year has passed and all the details are perfect. The rear needs to be seated a couple of times, see below. Ideally: front -70 or -90, rear -90 or -110, respectively. No cutting! Take the struts at the same level as the springs. When the rear wheels come off, the spring may jump off! More precisely, it dangles and falls into place. (When the wheel comes off!). Not tough enough. There is no alternative to Plaze. Front struts without lowering the bipod or, more precisely, with insufficient lowering. Bent rows. The helmsman dies. Perhaps from cravings, perhaps time. The driving style of the car is similar to that of a Civic. Koltsevaya, 160-180, clear lane change. At speeds of 120 or more, it flies over pits and rails. Only the sound of rubber.

Modification of triangular suspension arms Stinger for Lada Priora

I decided to buy wishbones. After reading the reviews, I realized that the best are Saturn Racing. I called several stores

Owners of domestic cars, and in particular the VAZ 2170, often resort to suspension tuning, improving the appearance and handling of the car. You can lower the suspension in various ways, which differ both in cost and in the complexity of the work performed. Therefore, before you begin such modifications, you should understand what you want to achieve and how much money you are willing to invest.

Why lower the Lada Priora?

On the roads of our country you can often find “Priors” with a low landing. The main reason why owners resort to this solution is to improve the appearance of the car. Lowering allows you to give the car a sporty look. In this budget way, the VAZ 2170 can be distinguished from the road traffic. When lowering work is carried out correctly, the following benefits can be obtained:

• reduce roll when cornering;
• improve the handling and behavior of the car at high speeds.

One of the main disadvantages of lowering a car lies in the quality of the roads: any hole or unevenness can lead to serious damage to body elements or vehicle components (bumpers, sills, engine crankcase, exhaust system). Due to the low seating position, the owner has to visit a car service much more often to fix certain problems. Therefore, if you want to make your “Priora” below, you need to take into account the following disadvantages of such a procedure:

• you will have to plan your route more carefully;
• incorrect lowering can lead to rapid failure of suspension elements, in particular shock absorbers;
• Due to increased suspension rigidity, the level of comfort decreases.

How to lower the Priora correctly

There are several ways to lower the landing position on the Priora. Each of them is worth dwelling on in more detail.

Air suspension

Air suspension is considered one of the best, but at the same time expensive, ways to lower a car. The driver can raise or lower the car body as necessary. In addition to the high cost of such equipment, the work must be carried out by specialists who understand the electronics and chassis of the car. Therefore, most Prior owners prefer less expensive methods of undervaluation.

Suspension with adjustable ground clearance

The Priora can be equipped with a special adjustable suspension kit. Height adjustment is carried out by means of struts, and springs with a selected lowering (-50, -70, -90) are compressed or stretched. Thus, the car can be raised for the winter and lowered for the summer. The springs that come with the kit are highly reliable and are designed to constantly change in length. The set in question consists of the following elements:

• front and rear springs;
• screw-adjustable struts and shock absorbers;
• front upper supports;
• spring cups;
• bumpers.

The procedure for implementing such a kit comes down to replacing the standard suspension elements with new ones:

Remove the rear shock absorbers along with the springs.

It is recommended to lubricate the threaded part of the shock absorbers with graphite lubricant.

Lowered suspension

This method of lowering the suspension is less expensive than the previous one. It involves purchasing a set of shock absorbers and lowered springs (-30, -50, -70 and more.). The disadvantage of this kit is the impossibility of adjusting the ground clearance. However, you can install such a suspension yourself. To replace you will need the following kit:

• Demfi -50 racks;
• springs Techno Ressor -50;
• supports Sevi Expert.

The understatement is selected based on the wishes of the car owner.

You will also need to prepare the following tools:

• wrenches 13, 17 and 19 mm;
• 17 and 19 mm socket heads;
• breakdown;
• hammer;
• pliers;
• ratchet handle and knob;
• penetrating lubricant;
• spring ties.

Replacement of suspension elements is carried out as follows:

1. Apply penetrating lubricant to the threaded connections of the front struts.
2. Using sockets 17 and 19, unscrew the fastening of the struts to the steering knuckle.

Video: replacing the front struts on a Priora

Low profile tires

One of the options for lowering the suspension of the Lada Priora is to install low-profile tires. The standard tire size for the car in question has the following parameters:

• 175/70 R13 82T;
• 175/65 R14 82Н;
• 185/60 R14 82Н;
• 185/65 R14 86H;
• 185/55 R15 82H.

When lowering the seating position by installing low-profile tires, a small deviation from the standard dimensions should be observed. Otherwise, the vehicle's performance may deteriorate, which will negatively affect not only driving performance, but also the wear of suspension elements.

Filed the springs

One of the most budget-friendly ways to lower the suspension is to shorten the springs by cutting off a certain number of turns. To carry out such an upgrade you will not need to buy anything. It is enough to arm yourself with a grinder. The procedure consists of dismantling the shock absorbers and springs, followed by the removal of 1.5–3 turns. You can cut off more, the car will become lower, but the suspension will practically not work. Therefore, such experiments should be carried out with caution.

When lowering the suspension from -50, you will need to cut the bump stops in half.

Tip 2: How to trim springs

Car enthusiasts will go to any lengths to improve ride quality. Among the countless clever tricks, there is also a metamorphosis of the ground clearance inherent in the design of the car. This can be done by making changes to the size of the shock absorber coil spring , that is, simply speaking, cutting it. It is possible to carry out a similar “surgical binding” independently. The main thing is to carefully think through the results of such an operation.

You will need

• – angle grinder (“grinder”);
• – hacksaw for metal;
• – a set of car wrenches.

Instructions

1. If you decide to do the trimming yourself, first release the springs by removing the stand. Support each side of the car one by one using a jack. Disconnect the wheels. Unscrew the bolts that secure the lower part of the rack. After this, disconnect the springs . Place all fasteners neatly in one place, clearing them of dirt in advance.

2. Decide how much you will need to trim the springs . Consult car service experts for this. For a significant change in ground clearance, one and a half to two turns will need to be cut off. If in doubt, first shorten the springs by one turn and test them in action. If necessary, the procedure can be repeated. If you cut the springs by a larger number of turns at once, you will certainly not be able to restore them to the required level later, so think carefully before taking up the tool.

3. Direct cutting of the metal spring is done using an angle grinder (“grinder”). If you don't have one, use a hacksaw. Make the markings in the required place in advance. The trim should be indicated at the top of the product. This will reduce the negative results of deformation of the updated spring .

4. Repeat the same operations for all the springs, being diligent, so that in the end they are all the same size. It is extremely important that the size of the trimmed springs coincide along the axes of the car, in order to prevent a decrease in controllability as a result of even the slightest distortion of the structure.

5. To avoid daring mistakes, use the car service department to trim the springs. A highly qualified technician will assess how desirable such a procedure is for your vehicle, and will perform it at the highest professional level. Unskillful trimming of springs may in the future require their complete replacement, and, consequently, unforeseen financial expenses.

Reviews from car enthusiasts about lowering the Priora suspension

Suspension 2110, supports VAZ 2110, front shock absorbers Plaza Sport shortened -50 gas oil, rear Bilstein b8 gazmas, springs all around Eibach -45 pro kit. To be honest, Eibachs lower the front well, but the rear is almost like stock. I put standard and Eibach springs next to each other, the difference is a centimeter and a half. I didn’t like the fact that the rear didn’t sit down at all and I put the phobos back: they really lowered them - 50, although they were on the 12 and sagged a little. Therefore, I would like the front to be a little lower.

Understated. The racks around the SAAZ are ten-size, with shortened rods. In front there are TechnoRessor -90 springs, SS20 queen support springs (with a lowering of 1 cm), at the rear I cut off the original springs by 3 turns. The struts were pumped up for stiffness, because... the rod stroke is short. Bottom line, the car is a bouncer, it’s very rough, I feel every bump, a small wave - me and the sub in the trunk are bouncing.

On the original struts, put -30 in the rear, -70 in the front, it will lie flat. At first I set everything to -30, the rear was as it should be, the front was generally as it was, then I changed the front ones to -50 and still 2 cm higher than the rear.

Lowering a car suspension is not an amateur activity. However, if you decide to carry out this procedure with your Priora, you need to familiarize yourself with the possible options, choosing the most suitable one. It is advisable to entrust changes to the suspension to an experienced mechanic or use special kits for lowering the landing, which you can easily install yourself.

Ceiling sagging in car

Since October last year I have owned a well-used VW Passat B5+, the car is decent, I am pleased with German quality, dynamics, reliability and comfort even after 18 years on wheels.

Of course, there are some minor problems: the light bulb burns out, the washer stops washing, the horn doesn’t sound, or the frog on the feet is dead. All these are trifles, “not offensive to my eye.”

However, due to age + the presence of a minor passenger on board, the light ceiling in an instant turned out to be indecently dirty, which slightly offends my pedantic feelings and completely deprives the cabin of that warmth and comfort.

Omitting the details, the nameless shampoo-foam for the salon naturally did not clean anything, but the ceiling came off first-class, in fact, this did not come as a surprise to me.

The problem is already of the next order - hanging like an elderly scrotum, the ceiling no longer hinted at any coziness and comfort, but was frankly annoying.

In the photo you can only see some indistinct folds, but in fact, from the rear edge of the ceiling to the hatch itself, everything has completely peeled off and under the fabric there is a huge cavity in which you can film Interstellar (the video of the rustling of your palm there is available only with a paid subscription).

The obvious solution is to remove the ceiling and tear the hell out of it

and re-glue, but as one judoka said, “Long, expensive and not interesting.”

It was decided to override the obvious solution and try to fix the ceiling using folk remedies.

There was an exquisite video on YouTube where the author shares the secret of how you can tame a nasty ceiling with wallpaper glue. In the comments everyone is praising it, they say the ceiling is holding up, the mood has improved, the car is going faster, the consumption has decreased, the goat has started producing tasty milk, but the Internet won’t lie.

I chose a day off and bought everything according to the list: 1. Glue for vinyl wallpaper 2. 63mm brush 3. Covering film 4 meters

I parked the car in the sun, moved the front seats, folded the rear ones, and wrapped everything in film. I tinkered a little with the glue to maintain the normal consistency, because I am an inexperienced craftsman, and I don’t need 7 liters of water to 1 liter of glue.

He exhaled and began. From the first strokes of the brush, it became clear that a miracle would not happen - not in Erusalem - the fabric was generously smeared with glue, but it categorically refused to stick to the ceiling.

In timid hope, I missed a stripe about 10 centimeters wide, left it to die, and, in confusion, went for a smoke break.

It was clear that the fabric first needed to be secured in place somehow. I am an engineer by training, but nothing collective farm is alien to me. In a desperate attempt to save the ceiling that was frozen in a suspended state, I hurried to a small items store that had no name and bought a pack of pins with perky multi-colored heads there at a piecemeal price.

After 10 minutes, I was already carefully grabbing my long-suffering ceiling like a dressmaker would a wedding dress and received just such a cheerful preparation

After taking a little more rest (stabbing 50 pins into the ceiling is not something you should jerk off to on camera), I began to coat everything with glue from the left edge to the right in 10 cm strips.

When finished, I collected the excess glue and closed the car, leaving it in the heat for a couple of hours.

He returned in the late afternoon, a preliminary inspection showed that it had turned out to be complete crap, the ceiling had become hard like mammoth shit, had come unglued even more, and to this were added huge dents from each of the fifty pins.

Thank you for your attention, and I’ll go about my business - I need to give up my desire to do handicrafts somewhere else.

Method one: Sawn springs

This method of underestimation has found popularity among young people. This is due to the fact that most young people do not have large sums of money to spend on tuning their cars. This method of lowering a car is the cheapest and fastest, but far from the most reliable and safe.

So, let's take a closer look at how to cut springs on the Lada Priora and VAZ 2110.

Washed down the springs on the VAZ 2110

The suspension of the Priora and 2110 cars is slightly different in the design of the shock absorber strut. The Priora uses a barrel spring, while the VAZ 2110 uses a coil spring.

In order to lower the car using the spring method, you need to decide on the amount of lowering of the car. It is not recommended to cut the springs more than 3 turns at the front, since the strut will compress and the upper cup of the shock absorber will rest against the bump stop, therefore, the shock absorber may not function properly.

The springs of the rear shock absorbers can be sawed up to 5 turns, after which the same thing awaits you as with the front shock absorbers, the bump stop will rest against the rear spar. It follows that the shock absorber will not work correctly and there can be no talk of any driving comfort.

Washed down the springs on the Lada Priora

You can file the spring on a Priora, but it is not recommended to saw the front springs. The front spring of the Priora, as described above, has a barrel shape, therefore, after washing it down, it will lose its shape and will not fit into the groove of the shock absorber cup. Some craftsmen, after washing down such a spring, heat it up and give it a similar shape.

It is strongly not recommended to use this method, since when heated, the spring loses its properties and elasticity, becomes more fragile and susceptible to rupture or breakage, which can lead to dire consequences.

The rear springs of the Priora can be cut in exactly the same way as the springs of the VAZ 2110, because they are absolutely the same.

Step-by-step instructions for cutting down a spring

In order to safely file down the spring, the strut must be removed from the vehicle.

The first step is to prepare the necessary tool. It's better to use a key set

Removing the front struts

To remove the front struts you will need the following tools:

• Open-end wrenches for “13”, “17”, “19”, “22”;
• Hexagon at "6";
• Socket heads or wrenches for “13”, “17”, “19”, “22”;
• Anti-rust liquid WD-40, etc. (by the way, if you don’t have WD-40, you can use kerosene, antifreeze or diesel fuel)
• Hammer, pry bar and pliers
• Steering wheel end remover.

So, let's start disassembling the car.

• 1. It is necessary to jack up the side on which the spring will be washed down, having previously loosened the wheel mounting bolts 4 pcs. Do not forget to put chocks under the rear wheels of the car so that it does not roll forward or backward.

• 2. Remove the wheel from the car and place it under the threshold of the car. This action will help prevent damage to parts of the machine if it falls from the jack.

• 3. Next, you should loosen the nut securing the rod to the front shock absorber support in advance; for this you will need a hex socket set to “6” and a wrench set to “22”.

• 4. Unscrew the steering end mount with the head on “17”, having first pulled out the cotter pin. And we press it out of the rack axle using a puller or a hammer and a pry bar.

• 5. Pull out the brake hose and ABS wire from the seats in the rack.

• 6. Unscrew the bolts securing the strut to the steering knuckle using keys “17” and “19”.

• 7. Unscrew the three bolts securing the shock absorber support to the strut with a head set to “13”.

• 8. Take out the stand.

Next we should proceed directly to disassembling the shock absorber, here we will need spring ties

• 9. We tighten the spring with ties on both sides.

• 10. Unscrew the nut securing the support and remove it, then remove the spring and the bump stop with the boot.

The stand is disassembled, you can start cutting. The number of turns must be measured from the beginning of the turn on the spring. We saw the spring with a grinder.

We assemble the rack in the reverse order. You should pay attention to the washers under the rack support and install them in the correct sequence as shown in the photo.

The sawn spring must be installed with the cut coil down.

We carry out exactly the same action with the opposite side.

Removing the rear struts

To remove the rear struts you will need much less tools than to remove the front ones.

Tools required to remove rear struts:

• Keys to "17", "19"
• A special key for unscrewing the rear shock absorber rod.

Step-by-step instructions for removing the rear shock absorber of Lada Priora and 2110

There is no need to use zip ties to replace rear shock absorbers

• Loosen the bolts securing the wheel to the hub.

• In the luggage compartment of the car, bend (unscrew if necessary) the trunk lining so that access to the rear spar is free. Loosen the nut securing the rear shock absorber rod to the spar.

• Jack up the side on which the spring will be cut. Do not forget to put chocks under the front wheels of the car so that it does not roll forward or backward. Remove the wheel from the car and place it under the threshold of the car. This action will help prevent damage to parts of the machine if it falls from the jack.

• Unscrew the bolt securing the shock absorber to the rear beam of the car.

• Unscrew the shock absorber rod from the rear side member of the vehicle.

• We take out the strut, you need to lower the strut all the way down, squeeze the shock absorber rod, pull out the spring with the boot and bump stop, and then the shock absorber itself.

That's it, the rear strut has been removed from the car, you can start cutting down the spring.

It is necessary to count the number of turns and cut the spring exactly opposite the beginning of the spring turn.

Reassembly of the rear shock absorber should be done in reverse order..

Examples of cars with sawn springs

Advantages and disadvantages of sawn springs

Disadvantages of lowering a car by filing down the springs:

• There is no comfort when driving such a car.
• There is no way to travel on a country road.
• The spring may fly out of the shock absorber cup.
• Immediate failure of shock absorbers.

Advantages of lowering a car by filing springs:

• Cheap and easy to use.

How to cut springs?

Hello! Explain how to cut a spring correctly, how many turns to cut?

Springs are cut only by collective farmers driving Zhiguli cars. Oh, you don’t have a Lada, then it’s clear)

Friend, you can keep your wit to yourself!

In my opinion, you need to cut the bottom turn with a grinder, not allowing the spring to heat up (cool with water), how much to cut - look at the place, adjust it “by scientific prodding” (cut it a little, tried it on, tried it on, a little more, etc.).

Guys, the Bulgarian is a dangerous thing. Water doesn’t help with cooling (((((I once had a basin and decided to farm it on a collective farm. I cut the springs, it turned out great and not very low))) But after a couple of days I was unexpectedly surprised that the car sat down about another centimeter. So what does biri count))) And on the forum there are varics to find ready-made low springs not a collective farm))))

Friend, you can keep your wit to yourself!

Isn’t it destiny to buy tune springs? They're inexpensive.

On the old Levin there were wildly stiff non-original springs in the back, I cut off half a coil, the car still sits high but at the same time has become noticeably softer, I sawed off half of the coil that rests on the rack, I wanted it stronger but then the spring would have been greatly shortened and would have dangled in the rack

Why do you think that you will release the spring with a grinder? Yes, never, there is no need to cool anything there. In general, there is no need to cut anything, buy factory springs with the parameters you need. COLLECTIVE FARMERS are sawing.

Well, cutting springs, for example, I don’t see anything bad, even more than 99 percent change the springs so that the car is lower and so that there is tuning. When trimmed, the spring becomes stiffer. and if you are tuning the suspension and there are no screws, then by cutting the spring you can achieve improvement. For example, I took springs from an all-wheel drive Carib, and cut them in half, and drove them for 6 months.

buy lowered springs, they are not that expensive. but we need a sawn collective farm.

Can anyone at least explain what the collective farm is about? Do something with your own hands and maybe get a profit?

If we are going to cut springs, then not stock ones, but stiffer ones.

Due to stiffer conventional springs, the car will be even higher; if you cut it off, it will be like stock)

The vehicle has all four sawn springs lying around in the garage, should I send it?

I’ll share what I think I know about cutting springs. 1) it’s better to cut no more than one turn from the bottom (on the rear ones you can do 1.5 turns, but the lower diameter of the spring will be noticeably smaller than the stand cup, it’s unlikely to dangle, it will take a position that is comfortable for it, and will remain so, if the tension is clamped, of course). If you overdo it, the spring will not compress when you assemble the strut, and will dangle, you will also have to saw the shock absorber rod 2) after sawing, it is better to heat the lower coil of the spring and bend it so that it fits completely into the cup of the strut, as before sawing (how - Idk, I I didn’t do it + again the danger of having to shorten the rod increases). Otherwise, the spring will bend, i.e. not vertically, but like this

Method two: Short-travel struts

This method is currently used along with cutting down springs. On the streets of the city you can see a huge number of cars with such racks. It gained wide popularity due to its simplicity, reliability and comfort. Also, short-travel struts have a wide range of vehicle height options. Any car enthusiast can choose the optimal understatement for himself.

Lowering with the help of short-stroke struts practically does not change the design of the car and does not cause any harm to it, unlike silting of the spring. Lowering in this way occurs by changing the height of the rod itself and the strut cartridge, and by installing an already obviously shortened spring.

Types of short-travel struts and springs

There are a large number of short-stroke struts that have their own characteristics. Let's look at a few examples of racks.

Short-travel struts are classified by lowering height, that is, each strut has its own size.

For example: -30, - 50, -70, -90, -120

What do these numbers mean?! The number indicates the size in mm by which the stand rod and cartridge are shortened. Therefore, a rack with index -30 is shortened by 30 mm, a rack with index -50 is shortened by 50 mm, etc.

Racks are also classified according to their stiffness zone. Comfort and sport.

Comfort racks

Such struts have a softer degree of compression, which ensures comfort when driving. There is no shaking or knocking in the car when using such racks.

Sports racks

Sport struts are used for tuned cars with non-standard engines. Such struts provide positive dynamics when driving on the highway; the car experiences minimal roll when turning.

Springs

In combination with short-throw struts, shortened springs are used.

The classification of such springs is similar to the classification of struts. Springs are: -30, -50, -70, -120. The spring stiffness is exactly the same as that of the struts: comfort and sport.

Springs also come with variable and regular coils. Springs that use variable coil technology have less rigidity. Such springs should be installed on racks marked “comfort”.

Such struts can be installed in standard places with standard components; for example, to install short-stroke struts there is no need to change the support bearing and boots.

The most popular brands of short-stroke struts and springs: SS20, ASTON, TechnoRessor and Demfi .

Examples of cars with installed short-travel struts and springs

Advantages and disadvantages of short-travel struts

Advantages of short-travel struts:

• Comfort while driving;
• There is no damage to the car;
• Large selection of rack heights;

Disadvantages of short travel struts:

• Inability to adjust vehicle height;
• Difficult traffic on a country road;

Springs sawing off coil

Hi all! Does anyone know anything about sawing off a coil on a spring? What will happen? My kettle seems to have reinforced springs, the rigidity is fine, but the height is not very good (((if you cut off the coil, the rigidity will remain and the machine will lower or not?

If you saw off one turn, the cabin will smell like manure, and a pig, a cow and a pitchfork will live in the trunk.

I got the hint))) but how to drop it? I know about the coilovers, they’re a little expensive.

-1 You shouldn’t cut the turns, there will be a collective farm.

1. After sawing off, the lower coil will not sit exactly in the shock absorber cup. 2. Extraneous sounds will appear when driving over speed bumps and bumps. 3. Over time, the spring will burst or fall below the cup, depending on your luck.

.. correct me who sawed the turns, I already went through it.

Py.Sy. either original or lowered coils, depending. what do you want to receive?

Buy lowered springs.

The problem is that the stiffness of mine suits me, the height is not, as on other springs, I don’t know. I'll buy it and maybe I won't like it.

This means that the struts must be taken together with the springs. From a tourist.

what kind of springs are they?

if you saw off 1, the car will fall so much that you will regret it + darkevil’s words and in general this is a specific collective farm, it’s better to buy springs from a Tourer B. I can show you a photo of how the car will look on regular struts with Tourer springs if necessary

no, I definitely won’t cut now, they dissuaded me))) okay, in principle I understood the direction of movement.

I don’t know, I bought the car in the summer.

There are no problems there if you cut it off carefully and don’t leave burrs. Everything will be ok.

yeah yeah))) the guys I know have already sawed off - it’s almost gone, they cut 1 turn or one and a half)) 1/5 of one turn can still be sawed off and it’s a mess, why spoil a Japanese thing, put some from the basin then I don’t know

So we didn’t drink the round, we drank less.

What the hell are you doing? Should I cut when there are understated ones? Let them saw on Priors and Viburnums.

buy RSR lowered ones. try on yours and order which ones you need.

saving money is what it is)))

what radius are the wheels?

I once read about these springs, but how stiff are they?

Method three: Air suspension.

This method is the most expensive and difficult to install. To install the air suspension, the car must be completely disassembled. Install special equipment; besides, air suspension is not suitable for cold seasons. Quite often it happens that condensation appears in the tubes, which in cold weather can lead to a blockage in the air channel.

To install this method of understatement, qualified specialists will be required. Large set of tools and equipment. To install the air suspension you will need: a receiver, a compressor, hoses, pipes, special racks, sleeves, etc.

The installation of air suspension has not found much popularity due to its high cost and capriciousness. Due to the large amount of reagents on the road, air leaks often appear in the system, which makes it impossible to drive a car. Also, using a car in winter is quite problematic.

Advantages and disadvantages of air suspension

Pros of air suspension:

• Possibility of changing clearance

Disadvantages of air suspension:

• High cost and complexity of installation;
• Inability to move in cold weather;
• Taking away useful space in the trunk;

Bottom line: to lower a car, it is best to use short-travel struts. Such racks are the most suitable option for everything in terms of price and quality.

It should be noted that with a measured lowering of -120 mm, it is necessary to saw the right spar. Due to the very low lowering, the right-hand drive wheel will touch the car body. The photo shows how the drive rests on the car body.

Also, when carrying out any actions, it is imperative to have the wheel geometry done at a service station upon completion of the repair.

Not lowered, but lowered. Why does the Lada Priora with a low ground clearance cause delight among some people, and indignation among others? It is impossible to find the answer to this question, but if you want to lower your car, we will help you with this. In order for the lowered Priora to work properly, such tuning must be carried out wisely. Of course, “cutting” springs is much easier than purchasing a full set - 30, 50, 70, 90, but do not forget about the wear and tear of the car and reduced safety.

Tip 3: How to cut onions without tears

Chopping onions is one of the most common and least favorite things to do in the kitchen. Nobody wants to cry tea! But it turns out that this can be avoided. And now we’ll find out how.

Instructions

1. Method 1 is to put the onion in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before cutting. This way, the volatile substances that cause us to cry will be released less.

2. Another method is to continuously wet the knife with cold water. By the way, there are several other methods with cold water, but I would like to say about the strangest one - take a mouthful of water before cutting the onion. I certainly don’t know how it works, but eyewitnesses ardently claim that it helps not shed a tear.

3. A fan is allowed. It should be placed directly opposite the bow. Only there is a small problem with this. All volatile substances will fly away to another room, where they will cause tears, but not from you, but from your household. So be careful with this method.

4. Wear swimming goggles. True, it will look funny, but you won’t cry this way.

5. As is well known, a flame can burn all impurities that are in the air. Place and light a candle next to you before cutting the onions. All the substances that make us cry will burn easily. Good luck!

Useful advice In general, roaring from onions is very beneficial. This is a local prevention against colds and flu. So howl to your health!)

Causes and Cautions

Improving the appearance of the Lada Priora is the main reason why VAZ 2170 owners decide to take such a step. The budget domestic car acquires an original sporty design. This is a fairly cheap way to make the Lada Priora stand out from the traffic. If you carry out the lowering correctly, the performance characteristics will also improve:

• Roll when turning will be reduced.
• Maneuverability will increase.
• The lowered Priora feels confident at high speeds and skids less.

The lowered suspension of the Lada compensates for centrifugal force, thereby increasing stability. In general, the car begins to “listen to the steering wheel” better and also responds quickly to turns.

If you go too far with the landing or choose the “collective farm” method, then such tuning will cause many problems. Suffice it to recall the jokes about boards in the trunk that are placed on speed bumps so that a lowered car can overcome this obstacle.

The main danger for drivers of lowered cars is uneven roads. If possible, it is better to avoid such streets. As for motorists who live in cities where most of the road surface leaves much to be desired, it is better not to lower them with springs of -30, 50, 70 or 90. It is also recommended to pay special attention to parking - with low ground clearance it is very easy to break the rear or front bumper of a Lada.

We underestimate correctly

The best option is air suspension. The driver can raise or lower the car body at any time. This method is rarely chosen because of its high cost. It is not recommended to carry out such tuning yourself if you do not understand electronics and chassis repair. Let's move on to more affordable options.

Adjustable ride height kit

The kit includes special springs (50, 70, 90) and struts with adjustable ground clearance. This is the best option, since you can change the ground clearance with your own hands at any time. For example, in the summer the Priora can be “planted”, and in the winter it can be raised. The lowered springs that come with the kit have increased wear resistance and are designed for constant changes in length. On the automotive market you can now find many kits for VAZ. If you wish, you can achieve the same result as with - 50, 70 or even 90.

Lowering suspension kit

A cheaper, but popular option, which includes lowered springs (this can be -30, 50, 70, 90) and shock absorbers. Once you choose one size, you will no longer be able to adjust the ride height at will. This reduction can be done with your own hands. If you want to choose a lowered suspension kit, then pay attention to Asomi products - they are quite popular among VAZ drivers.

Installing low-profile tires is also a slight downgrade. But do not forget that safety depends on wheels and tires, so install original tires on the Priora, albeit low-profile ones.

Alternative methods (not recommended)

Below are methods that take less time and do not require large financial investments. Despite the warnings of experts, VAZ owners continue to lower the car manually by 50, 70 or more:

• Trim the springs. To carry out such “tuning”, you don’t have to go to a car store; all you need to do is find an angle grinder. If you don’t have a power tool, you can take a metal saw. Motorists saw off from 1.5 to 3 turns of the spring. After this, the planted Priora falls, and the coils are cut in half to get them out. The next step is trimming the bump stop. Through the drilled hole, springs 50, 70, 90 are fixed using a clamp.
• Low springs. Some Priora owners prefer to save on modified shock absorbers and purchase only lowered springs. After tuning, the wear of the chassis increases sharply, and the control indicator drops. The only advantage of this method is the minimal cost. You only need to choose between -30, 50, 70,90 or 100.

This is what a lowered Lada looks like at minus 70:

-What? I cut off the springs on the Prior. Pffft.

another baby discovering the world?

They have air cushions; they can be raised and lowered within 10-15cm up/down while loading.

They are hydraulically parked in the lowest position.

-What? Have you ever seen semi-trailers for transporting cars?

Is there any hydraulics there?

fuck yeah, come on. The suspension is not hydraulic, but pneumatic! no, not the first time I saw it.

and this is not a semi-trailer, for that matter, but a hitch

He was the first to start talking bullshit. Also with posts, not comments. He’s also getting fucked now, look at that.

Spring selection

Now you know how to lower the Priora. If you want to do it right, it's better to choose a kit with air, adjustable shock absorbers or a standard kit with springs and shock absorbers. To ensure that the car does not experience problems with speed bumps, it is better to go with sets of 30, 50 or 70. As practice shows, 90 already causes difficulties when driving and overcoming difficult road sections.

It is highly not recommended to buy springs - 30, 50, 70 or 90 separately. It is necessary to immediately change the main components of the Lada suspension, especially the shock absorbers.
