Lowering
- Thread starter Slatemeta
- Start date
I've driven on my lowering springs for around 18k miles, struts are still fine. I'm not too sure how often struts need to be replaced but in the long run it'll would probably be better to get coilovers. I'm currently on BC coils and I read somewhere that BCs can last up to 100k before needing to be rebuilt.
When I had my Elantra, I was on Eibach Pros for about 35k+ miles before I took them off and traded it in for the Corolla. Once I reverted back to stock, ride quality was still really nice.
Granted, I know that can be vastly different from a Toyota as far as strut quality goes but It gives you an idea.

They come with good instructions. I had a "mechanic" install mine, and he completely screwed them up. Broke the cowl panel on the front and drop kicked my passenger ($80) windshield wiper!
Long story short, I ended up buying everything I needed to re install them and did it myself.
I'll send you a link to the instructions just so your ahead of the game.

Great tips here. A buddy here is planning to lower his 2015 as well. We will start working on it right after we finished installing the Smittybilt parts on the current Jeep project.
The stock wheels on the S Plus/Premium are 17x7's, & I was easily getting 30+ MPG with my aggressive driving. I averaged about 375 miles/tank. Now that I'm 18x8" wheels, my mileages has take a big hit. I'm averaging about 23.5 MPG with the same aggressive driving. Got stickier tires though, so not too sure if that has anything to do with it...

8 good Friend of ours is here in Houston on a business trip from Fla., called me UP last night and said to come over for the day
havent seen him for a long time, so Wife and I drove out to Houston for a couple of Hrs.
make the story short and sweet, Low fuel light came on @ 405 miles as we were on our way back home on a 14 Gallon tank,
Corolla iM. Since it has been a god topic because of going from 225/45 to 245/40 tires ( wider foot print ) I thought I bring it UP.
I think am doing about 430 miles maybe before I call AAA ! ( LOL )
Feed Back any1 ?!
Thanks
