Priora front 50 rear 70

I bought springs front -50 rear -70. Will it not hit on the original racks?

Comments 21

everything will be fine, I’ve been riding for 20 thousand already. Everything is ok, but it’s better to put -50 struts in front, I also have factory struts, I’m tired of jumping, I want to buy struts at least in front for now

Damn it turns out to be a bit expensive before 10,000

but you will understand that everyone who writes about standard struts and non-standard springs are simply suckers. The suspension can only be installed as an assembly. Moreover, shock absorbers must be designed for lowering and stiffer springs. That's when the car steers and the suspension works. I can’t read posts from beggars who want to lower their prices and save money...

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.

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.

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.

Experience in operating springs technosprings-50 and eibach pro-kit -30

Hello everyone, a little over a year ago it all started with the fact that I was not satisfied with the standard suspension on my car, like many, I changed my original struts (165mm) which had served 90,000 km properly with struts from an American Lancer GTS with a 2.4 engine under 18 wheels article numbers front 339082 and rear 339083 341425 (2 pieces) And I immediately decided to change the springs at the same time since the car’s ground clearance was also not satisfactory. The choice was not great - eibach -30 price is about 15,000 rubles, H&R and Tein were not considered due to the even higher price. And at this time, technospring springs were being tested on the Lancer X, and I began to actively monitor this process because after talking with people they said that the quality was good and the price was low. And after weighing all this, I decided to save money by ordering technospring springs -50 costing ( 5500r). Before purchasing, I consulted for a long time with a representative of Technosprings, Alexander, who tested the springs on his Lancer. They told me that everything would be fine. Having installed technospring springs and struts from the gts, the car was transformed, dropped as I wanted, the handling became better, the dive rolls disappeared and of course, out of habit, it became stiffer)) In general, like many, I was pleased after installing these springs. photo

gts struts and technospring springs -50

After some time, I began to notice a squeaking sound when turning the steering wheel. And over time the car became even tougher. Then I got into an accident and flew into the back of a Hyundai Porter.

Road accident

After waiting for the money from the insurance company, I decided to have my car repaired at the speed car service.

Having arrived there, I decided to do a suspension diagnostic in one go) And then the guys showed me that my springs were hanging out in the front struts and had play (lancer x struts are not designed for lowering more than -30mm)

How does the Technospring -50 spring sit in the front strut?

. And because of this, the suspension does not work properly; the strut has a small compression stroke and hits the bump stop. I was very upset about all this and thought to myself that I wasted my time saving on springs. After consulting with speedracerAlex, he advised me of springs that have proven themselves worthily on the eibach pro-kit-30 market. And I immediately decided to fix this whole problem and ordered eibach springs from sheckler. I was lucky that there was a discount on them and one set was on the way) Sasha gave competent advice, ordered it, picked it up and handed it over to speed car service, for which I thank him very much!) At the same time, I called technoressor and explained the situation to them, to which I heard the answer that don’t worry, everything is fine This is how it should be since the spring is shortened, people give them all good reviews, there are no bad reviews. When the springs began to be changed, such spare parts as two support bearings and a front shock absorber cup were replaced

As you can see in the photo, the support bearings were broken and one left cup of the front shock absorber was sheared off. It’s not difficult to guess why a creaking sound appeared when turning the steering wheel and the car became even stiffer like a cart) All because of the springs with a lowering of -50, the suspension was not working correctly. at the time of installation of the Technospring -50 springs, the support bearings and cup were intact) You draw your own conclusions!

Difference between eibach pro kit-30 and technosprings -50

After some time, my car was put in order both outside and on the chassis. Having left the service station, I immediately noticed changes in the suspension, the car became more composed, there are no creaks) the bumps go through and handle much better and smoother, the car became more predictable in handling and began to jump less on bumps) You would know how happy I was and the smile never left my face ) all the way home))))

In this post I want to explain to people that you shouldn’t skimp on your car, it’s still a Japanese foreign car, not a Volga or a VAZ) When buying a car, you should properly maintain it and not skimp on consumables, and especially the suspension and brakes, this is your safety ! Having bought an original or a good analogue, it will serve you much longer than a cheap analogue, you don’t know how long it will last and how it will last, and in the end you will change it earlier and spend more money, and adding up this money it will be more expensive than you originally installed the original or a good substitute. The same situation applies to springs. In this post I do not advertise eibach products, I made a comparison of two spring companies. Decide for yourself whether you will save roughly 10,000 rubles and install technospring springs -50, which only give rough appearance and damage to the suspension, or install good German eibach pro-kit-30 springs, which have proven themselves in Russia and have passed the test and serious inspection for our car after all after all, it’s a global brand and these springs will greatly improve the handling of your car without damaging the suspension and you’ll get an optimal lowering of -30mm. This was a lesson for me and I concluded that this time, do not install springs with the wrong lowering on standard struts. Don't skimp on your car and love it!

Special thanks to the speed car service for the high-quality repair of my car) Many thanks to speedracerAlex, first of all, for your patience!))) competent advice, advice and answers to all my questions!) for searching for spare parts for my car) Special thanks to Sasha for the bumpers!)

I recommend to everyone

I also thank Sasha sheckler for good advice and the purchase and delivery of springs to the service) I’m also glad to meet Sasha!)

Car after repair with eibach springs

In the photo the car just left the service station; over time the springs will settle!)

Thank you to everyone who read!) I think this story will be a lesson for you and you will not fall for my mistake!) Remember, the miser pays twice!) Good luck to everyone and smooth roads!)))))

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:

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.

The Demfi struts themselves are a bit harsh. I have a KX -90, the springs are TechnoRessor -90 and two more coils have been sawn off at the back. I drive and rejoice, low and soft.

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.
