* Lowering springs. This is the most common and affordable way to lower your car. Lowering springs are shorter than stock springs, which reduces the amount of space between the tires and the fenders. You can purchase lowering springs from a variety of aftermarket suppliers.
* Adjustable coilovers. Coilovers are a more expensive option than lowering springs, but they offer more adjustability. Coilovers allow you to adjust the ride height, spring rate, and damping. This gives you more control over the way your car handles.
* Air suspension. Air suspension is the most expensive option, but it offers the most adjustability. Air suspension allows you to adjust the ride height, spring rate, and damping electronically. This gives you the ability to change the way your car handles on the fly.
Here are some tips for lowering your suspension:
* Start with a small drop. Don't lower your car too much all at once. Start with a small drop and then gradually lower it more if you want.
* Get an alignment. After you lower your car, you'll need to get an alignment. This will ensure that your tires are wearing evenly and that your car drives straight.
* Consider your tires. If you're going to lower your car, you'll need to make sure that you have tires that are appropriate for the lowered ride height. Tires that are too tall can rub against the fenders when you turn or hit a bump.
By following these tips, you can safely and easily lower the suspension on your 99 VW Cabrio.
