Lowering my Telluride

Not sure of the company's reputation but these are the only coilovers I have found as of right now for the telluride platform. Give it maybe a year and all the big names will probably join in. I personally am running the M&S lowering springs which is about a 1.5" drop. So far I'm happy but would love to get airbags not only for appearance but the towing ability as well.

Installing coilovers above the shocks is a good way to improve the ride height of your car. Once installed, you will have more wheel space, which can be useful when increasing the wheel size or raising the ground clearance. The market offers various reel options with different lifting characteristics. It's best to study reviews and recommendations from other owners of the same type of car to choose the best option for your needs.

I am wanting to install coil over shocks. I would like to improve the stance. Can anyone who has lowered their vehicle give me some insight on what is available after market.

Thank you
Just bought a set from SF Racing. Shows that it can take 3-6 weeks to ship from Asia to Florida. But if you are interested I can update you once they arrive and are installed. 2022 SX

Update for those interested-
The SF Racing coilovers look great! There is a nice 2.5 inch drop and the overall stance looks really nice. I am still having issues with the ride comfort though and not able to get the rear dampers dialed in correctly. The front it solid and feels nice, but the back is just bouncing around all the time.

Ever get it all dialed in? Got a pic of the stance?

I ended up going to another speciality shop to have it looked at. The original installer messed up the pre-load and it was affecting the ride quality. I was running on just the shocks and never engaging the springs. It is much better now, not as smooth as the OEM suspension, but comfortable. I am set up with 18/32 firmness in the front and 20/32 in the rear. It is just over a 4" drop front and back, really reduced that gap between the top of the tire and the wheel wells
