Lowering your car is one of the most popular ways to
modify your car
. The cost to lower your car depends on several factors, including:
  • How you lower your car
  • Who lowers your car
Here are some of the most popular ways to lower your car and their cost:
  • Coilover: At home, this will cost $300 to $1000 or more, depending on the kit you get. A professional will likely charge a similar amount.
  • Lowering springs: At home, this can cost between $100 to $700 for the kit. You’re likely to pay between $200 to $800 at a shop.
  • Leaf springs: This kit is one of the cheapest ways to lower your car, usually running for between $100 and $200. A shop will normally charge $200 to $800.
  • Hydraulic suspension: This is the most expensive type. Kits can run anywhere from over $1,000 to around $10,000. Getting a professional to do it is usually $2,000 to $5,000.
Going to a professional is often more expensive, but lowering your car is a big modification. If done incorrectly, you can injure yourself or damage your vehicle. No matter what option you choose, make sure to do as much research as possible before beginning.
If you decide to lower your car, confirm you have the right car insurance on your car. Many insurance policies don’t cover aftermarket modifications, meaning you may need additional coverage. If you’d like to explore your coverage options, consider using the
