Heating Springs

Goddamn this forum is getting more retarded everyday...

You look like you need the advice.

how so, please expound... with all of your infinite 16 years of wisdom.

You should be banned just for giving out advice that could potentially damage people's cars and endanger lives. You might think it is a joke much like your car, but some people take pride in their work and their vehicles.

Look I dint think he needs to bebanded from the site. The community should know that at one point in time all of us were just as guilty. I know for a fact that not one person woke up and said I am an expert on anything honda. So with that said from now on we will know that what ever it is that is posted by this kid just ignore him. He will find out the hard way.

I would encourage ebay crap over heating/cutting springs. With eBay, at least you can go backwards once you realized you made a mistake!

Heat springs is nothing new its been done since the switch from leaf springs. Is it good to do no, why it started was because back in the days you had no after market parts. Older cars were not a coil over shock setup like today, the spring was in another place, or you had access to drop the shock out of the spring, so you dont risk blowing up a shock and killing yourself. Another problem with it is the car won't heat level so you have to go back in and add so spring lifts. If you want to be cheap cut the springs a little, from the top. People will jump in and say how ghetto that is, but I've done it for years, even Boyd(rip) and Foose were/are known to do it.
My current car is on S-techs and I will be cutting them down a little to drop another 1/2 inch.

Foose? As in Chip Foose? His cars do nothing but sit under a roof and get looked at, then rolled onto a trailer for another show. It doesn't matter if he ruins the integrity of the suspension parts because they'll never be used to even half their performing potential. Just because some over hyped car dude does something doesn't mean it's right.

Cutting springs is just plain stupid and a clear sign that you're too cheap and careless to do something right. There are some issues when you cut springs. But I'm sure you don't care so go for it.

 

[b16lewis]

People just don't understand, don't cut, heat, or jerry rig anything.

This thread is f**king retarded...

Come on guys how hard is to save up and bare that stock height for 1-2 months and at least buy a decent set of lowering springs, if you don't feel like dropping so much on coilovers.

It's not that big of a deal. No need to get personal, mr high and mighty. I know the pros and cons.

i always thought my safety as well as the safety of those around me was by far the biggest deal

Can't win on the Internet! I bet if I asked you in person what effect cutting a spring would make on the spring no one would be able to answer it, but I'm sure as soon as someone reads this they will look it up on google and come back a pro!

I want to see all this proof and other stuff you guys claim to have.
