Luxury automobile suspension systems have evolved by leaps and bounds over the past century. Today's modern vehicles are designed to provide a smooth and steady ride every mile of your journey. However, that doesn't mean that the suspension in your new luxury car or classic automobile can't be improved upon. Adding suspension upgrades can go a long way toward enhancing your comfort and prolonging the time between service appointments.

Common suspension upgrades we install at our Forest Hill, MD facility include:

  • Lowering Kits - These increase spring rates and improve damping.

  • Air Bag Suspension Kits - These raise the vehicle and help protect against rear sagging, bottoming out, and excessive pressure on the tires. 

  • Performance Struts - These improve handling and can positively influence the aerodynamics of the vehicle.  

  • Stronger Springs and Shocks - Replacing worn springs and damaged shocks can have a dramatic effect on vehicle handling and passenger comfort. By lowering the springs, it is possible to drop the center of gravity and considerably improve handling characteristics.

  • Rack and Pinion Upgrades - Rack and pinion systems are common on older luxury vehicles. Simple and light, upgrading these can enhance handling and improve the performance of classic vehicles.

  • Axle Upgrades - Axle upgrades can improve performance and increase the speed of the vehicle. They can reduce torque without reducing power and improve speed regulation and the efficiency of power transfer. 

Goals of Suspension Upgrades

Our clients come to us seeking suspension upgrades for many reasons. These include the desire to reduce the vehicle's height, positively influence the vehicle's center of gravity, improve weight transfer during acceleration, expedite deceleration, and reduce cornering loads. 

Over time, suspension systems will wear out, and many of our clients reach out to us at the point where the suspension system is damaged or broken. This not only negatively impacts handling characteristics, but can also risk further damage to the vehicle. That's why we recommend addressing any suspension issues and scheduling suspension upgrades before components wear out and fall apart. 

Signs a Suspension Upgrade Is Just What the Mechanic Ordered

Luxury automobiles will provide plenty of indications that the suspension system is wearing out and due for service. These signs include the vehicle pulling to one side while driving down the road, increased awareness of every bump in the road, and the vehicle tilting to one side or the other while parked. Other signs include pronounced difficulty steering the vehicle, diving, bouncing, and rolling from side to side. 

Quality Components Are Crucial

Aftermarket parts are a dime a dozen, and you don't want to install inferior quality components on your vehicle. When we perform a suspension upgrade, we utilize only manufacturer-produced components. This ensures the quality of the finished suspension upgrade and helps preserve any warranty coverage you may have on the vehicle. The bottom line is that if we wouldn't install the component on our own personal vehicles, you can bet we won't put it on yours.
