mikesedge Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 My Edge sits extremely high. It makes the distance from the tire to the wheel well huge. I've looked at other stock ones on this site and they sit much lower. Anyone know why? It looks like crap. And, is there anything that can be done to reduce it without voiding the warranty? Thanks.

Hi Mike. :D There are many existing threads concerning this subject. You can install aftermarket lowering springs. However, if you do install aftermarket lowering springs and later have any issues with your suspension (or possibly even certain drivetrain components), there is a good chance that your Warranty claim will be denied. And keep in mind that a "denied Warranty claim" is much different than "voiding the Warranty". Hope this information helps and good luck. :beerchug: Edited March 15, 2012 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesedge Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks. I thought it would cause warranty issues. Just have to get used to it. But the one at work I park by looks much better. Just don't understand the variance between them . They are the same year and model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't understand the variance between them . They are the same year and model. is it possible your wheels are a different size? the larger the wheel the smaller the gap will look. you can have 18, 20, or 22's. M.

Sam I Am Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Lowered... I'm having my H&R springs installed in the morning, can't wait to get the car back and see how it looks and rides after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Sam, you should be pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I Am Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Sam, you should be pleased. Got the back and I love it!! The ride is still smooth and it handles much better. This should have come from the factory like this, the car looks so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmcclure Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Send us some photos. Also how much was installation cost for the four lowering springs. I can get the Springs eibach pro kit for around 178.00 new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesedge Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I thought your ride was already lowered. What was the setup at that time, and why are you installing H&R springs now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eatinitup Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 If you have a floor jack and jack stands, you can rent a spring compressor fairly cheap at your local "Discount Auto Parts" store and do the install yourself.. IT'S VERY EASY AND A SIMPLE SET OF INSTRUCTIONS could have you set up in about 2hrs time.. IN THIS ECONOMY, save money wherever you can! Also remember, that an alignment is going to be needed on this after the install so factor in about 50-70$ for that. You may also need an "Alignment Cam & Bolt Kit" which will take your negative camber and allow it to be in the correct margin that it needs. When raising or lowering vehicles at times, the vehicle will go out of camber and a "normal" alignment won't get it back into the correct #'s without a "Camber Kit" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
