Help identifying aftermarket suspension

BeamerBoi95 · 08-22-2021, 06:40 PM

I'm in the market for a used M2C and found one that appears to have been lowered.

Does anyone know if this car looks like its on lowering springs vs coilovers? Also, in general, do you think its bad to buy a used lowered car if you can't identify the suspension mods?

Definitely lowered. I can't tell if it's on springs or coilovers from this picture. I'd ask the seller to turn the front wheels and send you pictures, also reach under the rear and take a picture of the rears. I would want to know exactly what was done and have the car inspected all the way around underneath and in the fenders. Checking for any damage, scraping or rubbing issues.

It could be springs or coilovers. My bet is springs (HAS, swift, etc) but just a WAG. Can you ask the dealer?

Maybe use it in your favor during negotiations…say you prefer it stock so this is a negative to you (even if it looks and handles better)..

I can at least tell you the wheels are Titan7 TS-5. I have them too

I would just ask them to put it on the lift and snap a few pics of the suspension.
