Really? Funny because I was referring to how some springs have a dead coil that can be cut for a bit more of a drop without affecting spring rate... I agree you should do things the right way, but what the right way is depends on what you are doing and what you have currently. If your planning on cutting stock springs then no you shouldn't you could. It's not that big of a deal really your spring rate will change obviously, but if done right and not to an extreme level it can and has been done millions of times. |
go ahead and cut them....you'll look like a honda when you hit a bump....and keep bouncing....i saw a friend do this on his mustang...it looked good but the ride was crappy.

lol yeah man I just waited to lower mind after I got rims, I mean roads here in Tally are rediculous so when i get htem over break i'ma be ready to battle them again.
That being said Don't buy cheap isht! That and down the road when you try and show off to other people, true gear heads won't be impressed and just realize you Ebay'd your CAI, or went the cheapest root. I mean I coulda spent 500 bucks on some half ass rims and tires but then I would be embaressed everytime I was around someone who knew their isht... |

That's true lol. I was just trying to point out that some springs do have a dead coil that can be cut without having problems. For example my c springs. But then again I did pay the $120 or so to get them and do it right. I don't recommend cutting stockers personally. |
I have maxspring springs on them
i have lowering springs but want it lower can i cut or what else do you recomended i just want 1 more inch or so thanks
|
hey cuban dont you rub your front end everywhere? I have the cobra r front and my dad(drives a little fast) scraped it twice goin up an incline.

I've got Dropzone drag launch springs and they arent all that great for everyday driving but racing....it hooks alot better than my boys mustang on eibach sportlines. only downfall is draging the underside everywhere.

If you want to go lower just get yourself a set of coilovers then you can adjust the ride height anytime you
