PWRD I EV Performance
Engineered in the UK for the Renault 5 E-Tech, PWRD Progressive-Rate Lowering Springs lower the car by approximately 35mm front and rear, giving Renault’s electric icon a cleaner stance, sharper response and a more planted feel - without losing the everyday comfort that makes it so easy to love.
PWRD: Renault 5 E-Tech
PWRD Progressive-Rate Lowering Springs are engineered in the UK to give your Renault 5 E-Tech a more confident stance and a more connected drive - while keeping the fun, friendly character of the car fully intact.
Lowering the centre of gravity by approximately 25mm front and rear improves body control, sharpens steering response and helps the car feel more settled through corners. It also reduces excess arch gap for a cleaner, more purposeful OEM+ appearance.
With our PrecisionFit assurance, these springs are developed specifically for the Renault 5 E-Tech - ensuring perfect fitment, balanced performance and a ride height that looks like it should have come from the factory.

Fitted PWRD Lowering Springs on my brand new Renault 5E. The car now looks transformed and I couldn't be happier with the ride quality and handling.
PWRD: Lowering Springs
PWRD : engineered
Built different.
PWRD PrecisionFit Lowering Springs are painstakingly UK-engineered for long lasting perfection.
The vehicle's centre of gravity is lowered by 35mm, reducing body roll for better dynamic stability and a more enjoyable drive.
All PWRD Lowering Springs are high quality, European-made springs, from the same factory that produces many of the OEM springs.
Fitting gives the Renault 5 E-Tech a more resolved stance. By reducing those factory wheelarch gaps, it looks lower, cleaner and far more purposeful.
Lowering a car increases its efficiency at speed: less air travelling under the car can actually increase range a little on the motorway.
Covered by our 24-month PWRD warranty for complete reassurance.

FAQ
Got questions? Here’s everything you need to know before choosing your PWRD Lowering Springs:
Why choose PWRD Lowering Springs?
At PWRD, EV performance is our sole focus.
Rather than adapting traditional combustion-engine tuning approaches, every PWRD suspension product is engineered specifically around the unique demands of modern electric vehicle platforms - including battery weight, torque delivery, suspension geometry, weight distribution and real-world usability.
Our Progressive-Rate Lowering Springs are developed in the UK with a clear OEM+ philosophy.
The result is a suspension upgrade that feels balanced, refined and genuinely integrated with the character of the Renault 5 E-Tech itself.
Will these Lowering Springs fit the Renault 5 E-Tech?
Yes - PWRD Progressive Lowering Springs are engineered specifically for the Renault 5 E-Tech platform.
These springs are not universal or adapted from another vehicle application - they are developed specifically around the Renault 5 E-Tech’s chassis dynamics, weight distribution and suspension geometry.
How much lower will my Ioniq 5 N sit?
PWRD Lowering Springs lower the vehicle by approximately:
- Front: -35mm
- Rear: -35mm
This delivers a noticeably more aggressive stance while preserving everyday usability, suspension travel, and overall chassis balance.
Will lowering springs affect my warranty?
As with any aftermarket modification, warranty implications can vary depending on manufacturer or dealer interpretation.
However, professionally engineered suspension upgrades fitted correctly are generally regarded as low-risk modifications. If you have specific warranty concerns, we always recommend discussing them directly with your supplying dealer.
What are 'progressive-rate' lowering springs?
Unlike traditional linear springs - which maintain the same stiffness throughout compression - progressive springs vary their spring rate as loads increase.
This allows:
- softer compliance during everyday driving
- improved body control during spirited driving
- reduced body roll
- better dynamic stability under load
Progressive spring designs are particularly beneficial on heavier high-performance EVs like the Ioniq 5 N.
Will lowering improve handling?
Yes - lowering the centre of gravity reduces body movement and improves chassis stability during cornering, braking and rapid direction changes.
On the Renault 5 E-Tech, lowering springs can deliver:
• sharper turn-in
• improved steering confidence
• more composed weight transfer
• a more planted, connected feel
The aim is not to make the car harsh or overly aggressive - it’s to enhance the fun, nimble character that already makes the Renault 5 E-Tech so appealing.
Will lowering springs affect ride quality?
Ride quality is heavily influenced by spring design and suspension tuning philosophy.
PWRD Progressive-Rate Springs are engineered specifically to maintain compliance during normal driving conditions, with additional stiffness introduced progressively only during higher dynamic loads such as cornering, acceleration, or braking.
The result is a more controlled and connected driving feel without the excessive harshness often associated with poorly matched lowering springs.
Will lowering springs improve efficiency or range?
Reducing ride height can improve aerodynamic efficiency by reducing airflow turbulence underneath the vehicle.
While gains vary depending on driving style and speed, a lower ride height can marginally reduce drag at motorway speeds and contribute to improved efficiency.
Do I need additional parts to install these springs?
No additional suspension components are required for installation.
The springs are designed as a direct replacement for the factory springs using the OEM dampers and mounting system.
A professional wheel alignment is strongly recommended after installation to ensure optimal tyre wear and handling performance.
What happens to wheel alignment after lowering?
Changing ride height naturally slightly alters suspension geometry, including:
- camber
- toe
- steering angles
After installation, a professional alignment should always be carried out to restore correct settings and ensure:
- stable handling
- even tyre wear
- optimal steering response
This applies to all lowered vehicles.
Will lowering reduce ground clearance?
Yes - ride height reduction naturally decreases ground clearance by approximately the same amount as the spring drop.
Most owners experience no issues during normal driving, although extra care may be needed around:
- aggressive speed bumps
- steep driveways
- raised kerbs
- uneven road surfaces
The selected 25mm drop is designed to maintain a usable OEM+ balance rather than extreme ride height reduction.

Painstaking development.
The PWRD Lowering Springs have been developed and (very) thoroughly tested to the extremes on-track - including the varying challenges of the Nurburgring and Silverstone.
We do this sort of radical testing so that you don't have to. But isn't it good to know that you could?
