- 2025 Buick Envista
So, I just picked up a 2025 Envista and love the look, but it sits a little taller than I like with that extra wheel gap. I want to drop it about 2 or so inches, to clean up the stance and make it look sharper. So wondering if there are any options as of now for any lowering springs or coilovers for the Envista or if there are some springs or coilovers for other cars that are a 100% fitment to the Envista and will work without issues.
The main reason is style and my preference, but I believe that lowering it about 2” can also be beneficial in some of the issues the Envista is having. By lowering the envista by 2 inches or so, it should cut drag(less air resistance - easier for the engine to push the car so you’ll hit higher speeds without straining and feel less wind pushing back), adds roughly 1 mpg on the highway, lowers the center of gravity so less body roll(grips to the road better and feels planted), cuts front lift(nose stays down at 70+ speeds so steering is predictable and no wobble in crosswinds), adds rear downforce(increases better traction- especially on turns or merging and more stable at 80mph), which would shaves 0.2–0.3 sec off 0–60(not much but 1 of the pros of lowering it), and could possibly reduces brake dive and squat(nose doesn’t nose dive under hard stops, making it safer and a shorter stop/breaking distance). The con would POSSIBLY be: ride quality, being more stiff and bouncy on bumps(if cheap springs) but that’s an IF due to the quality of the springs or coilovers. And no, I won’t take this car off-roading or dirt, just want it to sit right and drive better
