Cutt springs anyone?

i already have lowering springs, and i only need 1in or so to sit nice on my flares. im not gonna pay for coilovers, and waste install time for 1 inch. maybe if i wa super monster trucking like a 5 inch wheel gap, then maybe

hahaha

You got a pretty good turn out on this thread here.

Cut springs?? Really? Come on man, just get a better job and have some dignity and get a set of coils, wayyyyyy better in the long run

[Mattphi]

I've got coils in the front, lowering springs in the rear. Bought new rears because there are more dead coils. This is what happened within 24 hours of getting the box in the mail

[RedE46Bimmer]

I cut my front coilover springs because they didn't go low enough. No biggie. You gotta do whatcha gotta do.

[Takahashi]

Cut your hair, not your springs

Indeed

hahaha

yea, my old wagovan had cut stock springs. by the previous owner, i switched to coils and the ride was horrible.

i really only need an inch or so lower. which IMO isnt worth paying for coils. but the stiffer springs on the coils would benefit me on the drift track

...just cut them doggie. Unless of coarse reverse rake or wheel gap is cool with you.

A lot of lowering springs have "dead" coils so to speak that can be cut without really affecting the spring rates or anything so that makes a lot more sense than cutting up stock springs

I don't see suspension as a place to skimp out on, just my 2 cents

If you're rolling around on nice wheels and cut springs on a car that has a lot of options available for suspensions, your priorities are whack

Agreed

Meh I'd rather drive a car at stock height than mess around with cutting springs. Doing it for cars that don't have a lot of options is one thing, but if lowering springs or cheap coilovers are readily available, a much better option imo. Personally I don't see suspension as a place to skimp out on, just my 2 cents
