Upgraded with EDDY Sport Suspension Kit
Comfortable Driving · Grounded, Reaching the Stars
When this 2023 Empow arrived at the shop, it was no longer in stock form.
Black wheels, green calipers, and overall exterior details had already been adjusted — the direction was clear. But from the side, the ride height still retained a fairly obvious factory stance. The gap between the wheel assembly and the body also kept the previous changes from fully connecting into one complete look.
» Upgrade Plan
This time, the goal wasn’t simply “lowering the car.” Instead, the EDDY Sport Suspension Kit was installed directly. The front and rear shock absorbers and springs are matched as a complete set. While bringing the front and rear height down to about two fingers, the lowered suspension also retains corresponding support and rebound control.
For this Empow — already upgraded with wheels and brakes — the needs were clear: the stance had to come down, daily drivability had to be preserved, and the chassis condition had to keep up as well.
» After Installation
The front and rear ended up at about two fingers.
Looking at that number alone doesn’t mean much. It’s only when put back onto this Empow that the change becomes visible — once the originally loose space above the wheel arches was tightened up, the position of the black wheels clearly “tucked” one layer deeper into the body. From the side, it was no longer a case of the wheels being one thing below and the body being another above.
The height wasn’t pushed to the limit. It retains the margin needed for daily commuting and normal drivability. This current state preserves just the right balance between stance and usability.
» Four-Wheel Alignment
After the front and rear heights were confirmed, the vehicle then received a four-wheel alignment.
This step wasn’t for “finishing off the look.” Rather, after suspension removal/installation and ride-height changes, it re-confirms alignment data such as toe, so that this adjustment truly returns the car to a normally usable state.
