cutting springs to drop

[big_dan]

so what do you thing i should do... ive got some friends that want to try out there dropping car skills and they want to cut my springs to drop it... but its not like there not experienced or anything they did it to my buddies escort (yeah i know ) and they did a really good job and they are gonna charge next to nothing if anything at all, so what you think

and btw even if i do or don't do it i will prolly get real springs and shocks sometime (like next summer)

ur gonna be bouncing all over the road. Plus, its not that hard to cut a couple coils so it doesnt take the experience to do so.

I wouldnt sacrifice a nice smooth ride for cut springs...go out and buy some real lowering springs!!

The prices are damn cheap too.

If they are gonna put all that effort just to cut ur springs, might as well buy some and have them install it.

Ur gonna hate the ride quality. ive been in a ride with cut springs. Really harsh ride.

 

[loccusst]

Don't do it cause they will take out the spring in the spring by cutting it with a torch. Thats how most people do it. Just spend the money and get the right springs.

 

[big_dan]

i might just cut em for now then save up a little and buy jo's springs

JE's probably got some shocks for sale too... bastard

 

[Je]

^^ hell no im using those KYB's lol

 

[civikskilz]

work something out with Je man, i know u might think it looks kool when the springs r cut and your rides sittin extral low but your shocks will go to s**t instantly and the ride will really really be harsh, its a ghetto move to do for dudes who dont really give a fuc about the cars, i actually thought it was kool when i was closer to your age too man, but its not worth it, youve got a 93 ex, dont do it, PM Je and work something out, eibach is good s**t

yup.....its gonna cost even more. why?...well cause u are cutting the spring and u are reducing spring rate. The spring rate is gonna cause your shocks to work even harder when u hit bumps. so dont do it.

 

[loccusst]

Your shocks will go to crap real fast. Also, you may end up trashing the bushings in the control arms when you take the car apart to get to the springs...so use alot of wd40 or penetrating spray.

I agree... not wise!!!

 

[Slidder55]

cut springs==BAD gives you the crappiest ride plus like all these guys above have stated it will hurst your car dont do it for the civs sake!

yup, we took a torch 2 the springs to a ford probe at work, lol, yes, ford, but hey, it ended up alright...that was a week ago..and now hes bottoming out on everything, its not worth the headaches (literally) with the bumpy ride, save a couple extra bucks an get new struts/coils next paycheck or somethin

 

[big_dan]

^^ yeah next paycheck sounds good... but that won't happen for a month or so unless i can con some $$ from the parents
