Steeda lowering springs installed on FWD Hybrid

[Mxer97]

I installed some Steeda lowering springs on my FWD Hybrid to test fit them for Steeda to confirm they fit. They do indeed fit, and the ride is not far off from stock feel.

Progressive rate springs in the rear. Interesting. Even more interesting that the rear springs are installed with the tighter-spaced coils at the top on one side and the bottom on the other. Is that correct?

I installed the per the orientation of the stock coils, and also that was how the picture was from the FWD 2.0 install was that they did.

Ok, thanks. Theoretically it doesn't matter, I just looked a little odd.

Looks great, how much did they lower it?

By how much was the clearance reduced?

I'm assuming that it is to improve handling?

Did they say when these will be available?

Thanks! About 1.5” front and 2.625” in the rear.

They have been available just haven’t ever been test fit on a hybrid FWD.

Aesthetics mostly, to close up some of that wheel gap.

I would think for shorter people, it would allow better reach into the bed also. This is what interest me.

Might gain 2mpg on highway, might not.
