Comfortable Avanza Modifications for Daily Driving

 

After modifying your car, you wouldn't just want to showcase it in the garage, would you? You'd want to enjoy driving it in your daily activities.

 

Especially considering the abundance of Avanza cars on the roads, modifying yours can make it stand out and become a source of pride.

 

However, modifications should align with your personal taste so that the car reflects your personality. Therefore, careful consideration should be given to the choice of workshop.

 

Tips for Lowered Avanza Modification for Daily Driving

 

Here are some tips to make your lowered Avanza comfortable for daily driving:

 

1. Cut Coil Springs

 

One of the most affordable ways to lower your Avanza for daily use is by cutting the coil springs. Ideally, you should cut around 3 fingers for the front and 4 fingers for the rear.

 

2. Replace with Custom or Different Brand Springs

 

While replacing the springs is an easier option, it might incur higher costs compared to cutting them. There are various custom spring options available to suit your needs.

 

3. Custom Front Wheel Alignment (FWA) and Wheels

 

Lowering the Avanza's appearance can also be achieved by replacing the Front Wheel Alignment (FWA) and wheels. Avanza's normal wheels are 14 inches; you can replace them with 13-inch ones.

 

Additionally, consider using tires with a wider tread and a smaller thickness.
