Enhance Your Ride: Suspension System Upgrades at Speedy Apollo Auto Service Centres in Calgary

Every vehicle is different and every driver has their own preferences, but sometimes you get a vehicle, and you just know that it could use a little extra stability. That stability, of course, comes from your vehicle’s suspension.

Suspension system upgrades are the best way to improve your vehicle’s performance, whether on a crowded highway or some lonely dirt road in the wilderness outside Calgary. However, there are a few different kinds of suspension system upgrades that are available. Which kind should you pick; should you lower your vehicle? What is an air suspension?

In this blog, we’ll look at suspension system upgrades and how they can enhance your ride.

Ways You Can Upgrade Your Suspension

Upgrading your suspension system isn’t a matter of just going and getting one from the store. There are many different options, each one offering different features. Let’s take a look at some of the most common ones.

Coilovers

Coilovers are one of the very first suspension system upgrades you should consider.

Coilovers are a coil springs set over a shock absorber to create a suspension unit. Each coilover is engineered for a specific vehicle with different spring, compression, and rebound rates. The springs are typically set on threaded collars so your ride height can be adjusted within a given range.

If adjustability is something you desire, coilover kits are the upgrade to start with.

Sway Bars

Sway bars are a chassis upgrade that can handily boost the performance of your suspension system. Sway bars are also called anti-roll bars or stabilizer bars and their job is to keep a vehicle from rolling side to side when turning. Most cars come factory-equipped with rudimentary sway bars. For a better and more comfortable ride, you can upgrade your sway bars.

A new, high-end sway bar will have seamless, no-weld tab ends; clean mandrel bends, and a thick layer of fresh powder which ensures years of corrosion resistance.

Suspension Lowering Kits

Lowering your vehicle’s springs can improve its handling. They can also dramatically improve the looks of your vehicle. An average suspension-lowering kit can lower your vehicle by 20-40mm, which is perfect for the daily driver. A good kit should also be corrosion-resistant, and you shouldn’t have to sacrifice comfort for it.

Air Suspension

An air suspension system is a replacement for the standard suspension springs. Instead, it uses an “air spring”, which is an enclosed, flexible rubber membrane that can inflate or deflate on command. An air suspension system allows you to control the height of your vehicle by simply pressing a button. How futuristic!

Air suspensions provide unparalleled comfort both on and off the road. Inflating it allows you to navigate rough terrain more easily, whereas deflating it gives you a sleeker appearance.
