Cutting Springs

The springs and shocks were stock, fresh from 84 so, yeah I probably did not have the "right springs" for cutting lolersaurus

From point a to point b I got a lot of looks and laughs, and I laughed along with them . It's an old car, and for whatever reason I loved driving low slow and bouncing all the way.

im sure if you had a better shock, it would have been fine. however, just everything. when you halfass it, you get halfass results

cut springs with a HD or performance shock, makes it very driveable

Cutting springs in general is half assing it hahaha

not really.
not really at all.
in fact on the 427 galaxies...the factory cut two coils on the front and 2.5 on the rear to stiffen the car up, but they also put new shocks on it.

all cutting springs does is shorten your stroke, and increase spring rate. just like a lowering spring...

Here's my opinion. If you plan on getting rid of the car at some point don't fuck it up by cutting the stock springs. All you're going to achieve by doing that is making the car less valuable to anyone who would want to buy it. just buy a set of drop springs. You can find them used for relatively cheap and at least keep some of your ride quality.

Personally I'd just leave the car alone and drive it as is. driving lowered cars everyday is not something I miss at all.
