Spring selection

Now you know how to lower the Priora. If you want to do it right, it's better to choose a kit with air, adjustable shock absorbers or a standard kit with springs and shock absorbers. To ensure that the car does not experience problems with speed bumps, it is better to go with sets of 30, 50 or 70. As practice shows, 90 already causes difficulties when driving and overcoming difficult road sections.

And this is the already planted Priora minus 100

It is highly not recommended to buy springs - 30, 50, 70 or 90 separately. It is necessary to immediately change the main components of the Lada suspension, especially the shock absorbers.

As you know, the steering of front-wheel drive VAZ cars is designed in such a way that when the car is on its wheels, the steering rods are in a position close to horizontal. Thus, when the suspension moves and when the car rolls, there is a minimal change in the toe-in of the front wheels.

When lowering a car using springs without replacing the standard shock absorbers, the body is lowered by the amount of lowering, and the steering mechanism is lowered along with it. The ends of the steering rods remain at the same height relative to the ground, therefore, the rods stand at an angle. When such a suspension moves and when cornering with a roll, the steering rods deflect even more. In this case, the toe-in changes more than on the standard suspension, and it becomes necessary to increase the steering movement in the direction of the turn.

Let's consider the case when one wheel hits a bump. The rack goes up, and the steering rod deflects, while the rack turns away from the straight path. And such a deviation must be countered by turning the steering wheel. The car becomes overly sensitive to road irregularities. The SS20 Racing shock absorbers have the swing arms shifted downwards. This made it possible to maintain the neutral position of the steering rods. And ensure minimal changes in toe-in on turns and road unevenness. Thus, when lowering a car with SS20 Racing shock absorbers, the necessary steering precision is maintained, and there is no need to constantly steer when driving over uneven roads and when banking in a corner.

Lowering springs SS20 Racing for VAZ

The SS20 Racing lowering springs are a new addition to the SS20 SPORT series of products for drivers who prefer a fast, active driving style. These are springs for those who care not only about the appearance of the car, but also about the correct operation of the suspension and steering when the ground clearance is lowered, confidence and safety on sharp turns.

SS20 Racing lowering springs have the following features

• made of high-quality Japanese steel using the cold-winding , which significantly increases the service life;
• have progressive characteristics: optimal suspension stiffness at low loads and a proportional increase in stiffness as the vehicle load increases, during roll when cornering or extreme braking;
• matched in pairs with identical characteristics, which ensures even lowering without body distortion;
• work without shrinkage 2 times longer than hot-rolled springs;
• the weight of the springs is reduced to 25% compared to the standard ones (depending on the car model);
• have a durable and resistant powder coating that protects against corrosion;
• have a polyurethane protective braid that protects the coils from damage when closed;
• When installed with SS20 Racing Series shocks, these springs provide your choice of -30, -50, -70 or -90mm drop.

Lowering a car or reducing ground clearance is one of the most modern areas of tuning today. To give their car confidence in driving, stability when maneuvering at a decent speed, and simply make it more stylish and sporty, car owners use different methods.

Some people simply cut through the springs due to lack of information or finances. You can’t expect a super effect from such economical tuning. But it’s cheap, and the car looks sporty and stylish in appearance. But you have to pay for this with convenience - you ride “like on a stool”, strong vibration shakes up the interior and everything starts to rattle. But this is not even the main thing: when cutting standard springs, it is impossible to achieve their identical characteristics, and this method leads to deformation and weakening of the body, gradual destruction of the front suspension cups, hard metal impacts on the body, and the appearance of cracks. And these are irrevocable serious losses that significantly reduce the performance and cost of the car.

Another option is that if you have the financial means, you can buy expensive suspension parts from the best manufacturers and assemble everything together. But it is not a fact that after this you will get what you dreamed of. Because to lower a car you need not only good expensive hardware, but also their coordinated work and the correct calculation of each suspension element. Moreover, it is necessary to take into account the changes made to the suspension geometry, and try to maintain the controllability and comfort of the car, and not disrupt the operation of the braking system.

We hope that the previous arguments were convincing. All this led us to the creation of KITs for lowering (“kits” - translation from English), in which springs play one of the main roles in lowering. Springs - it seems, what could be simpler - a piece of wire twisted into a spiral, that's all. But for some reason, not every manufacturer can produce high-quality, reliable and durable springs that will work stably, will not sag over time and, most importantly, will be manufactured exactly according to the design parameters.

Good springs are technologically sophisticated products made from high-quality metal. The working load of a lowering spring is much higher than that of a regular spring. Lowering springs (sport springs) absorb the same shock from the road as regular springs, but they are short and must absorb bumps with less compression travel of the suspension.

This feature was taken into account when designing and testing the SS20 Racing lowering springs. As a result, due to special Japanese steel, the use of the cold coiling in production, a durable protective coating and a special protective braiding that protects the coils from damage when closing, SS20 Racing lowering springs work without shrinkage twice as long as the hot coil springs that are widely available today time on the market.

sports springs have progressive characteristics, that is, they provide lowering of the car without loss of comfort: optimal suspension stiffness at low loads and a proportional increase in stiffness as the vehicle load increases, during roll in a corner or sudden braking.

Depending on the vehicle model and the amount of lowering, the weight of SS20 Racing springs is reduced by up to 25% compared to standard springs (except for springs SS30136 and SS30137). Reducing the weight of springs, together with reducing the weight of shock absorbers, reduces unsprung masses in the car’s suspension, which has a positive effect on driving performance, reduces dynamic loads in the suspension, improves acceleration and braking dynamics and contributes to improved handling.

The energy intensity of the suspension with lowered springs is calculated and maintained due to increased spring stiffness. Thanks to this, the lowered car remains comfortable, and shocks to the body when overcoming bumps are reduced.

All SS20 Racing springs are tested on a control stand and are selected in pairs with the same characteristics, so they provide uniform lowering without body distortion, stability and driving safety.

Marking

In addition to lowering springs, the SS20 company produces classic hot-coiled springs and Gold springs with variable coil pitch.

Rear shock absorbers on Priora

The rear wheels of the Lada Priora factory also come with non-separable shock absorbers. Their characteristics are similar to the front ones. As many drivers note, these shock absorbers are very soft and do not hold the road well at high speeds.

Analogs of Priora front shock absorbers

Replacements for shock absorbers on the rear wheels of Priors are slightly less popular than those on the front wheels. Often, many drivers install analogues on the front wheels, and leave original spare parts on the rear wheels. Nevertheless, the most popular analogues of rear shock absorbers are presented below.

Which shock absorber struts for Priora are better? For moderate driving, and at a low price, it is better to take the original SAAZ. Also, shock absorbers from the Russian company SS20 deserve special attention. They produce high-quality and technologically advanced products at a relatively low price. The range is represented by several lines of shock absorbers (differing in level of rigidity). But the most popular for the VAZ 2170 is the “Comfort” series. They are a little stiffer than the factory ones, which is especially noticeable at speeds up to 50 km/h. But after this mark they perfectly reveal their full potential on uneven roads. When entering the pit, the sound is practically inaudible, and most of the vibrational energy is absorbed.

Also of particular interest are shock absorber struts from the Japanese Kayaba (KYB), the big advantage of which is their versatility. They perform well both on smooth highways and off-road. The company has developed gas-oil shock absorbers labeled Exel-G, especially for Priora. But, due to the novelty of these spare parts, they are now quite rare on sale.
