Remove lowered suspension 335

TiresOnFire · 02-21-2017, 05:00 AM

Friend bought a CPO to now realize car sits too low, has rough ride, and it's just just not practical for his needs. Making some assumptions about how suspension is modified to lower it, what is typically involved with restoring suspension to the original height? Could there be a "suspension computer" that failed?

I don't think they would have CPOed the car with an aftermarket suspension.

You should be able to tell pretty easily if there are aftermarket springs on the car, they're typically red or blue or yellow. If you can't tell from looking at them have the dealer put it on a lift and see if they're OE or not.

The dealer definitely wouldn't have CPO'd it if it had aftermarket suspension. I had to pass on a car I really liked because they couldn't CPO it due to this reason

Lmao probably just had m sport suspension and RFT's. Ride is comparable to falling down a flight of stairs.

Mainly the RFTs.

No issues here with Sport Suspension and 255/40/18 MPSS (non run flat) tires.

I run a similar setup in the 19s. 255/35/19. Ride is so much better

Just because a dealer isn't supposed to CPO a car with aftermarket suspension, doesn't necessarily mean they wouldn't.
