Bad idea in cutting your Springs, Just cough up about $100 and you can get yourself a brand new set of Aftermarket Springs which will be doing better performance in the long run instead of Cutting your Stock Springs.

Man, I got some used Neuspeeds on here for 75 shipped. look around the classifieds I bet you can get some Tein S Techs for under 100 shipped. Or get Neuspeed, Tein, H&R, etc off of ebay.

Cut springs can kill people. You can wobble out of control and crash.

If you cut your springs you are not only endangering yourself but also your fellow motorists


Seriously though, you can cut your springs but your ride is going to REALLY, REALLY suck and your going to damage your shocks after hard hits while driving.

Just like everyone above is telling you, just grab an ebay set or a cheap set of Neuspeeds, Eibachs, Nonamers, Ractive etc...


you'd be a fool to cut them

i cut the springs on my old crx back in the days and boy did i regret it. i cut it about 2 coils and the ride was terrible. bouncin all over the place and not to mention the crazy butterfly effect. best bet is to get some cheap or used springs.
