I am only going to cut an inch or inch an a half off the springs.....

 

I heard about Cutting Springs - hopefuly comes up good!

 

i once cut my intrax springs and noticed it was more bouncy then before. not to mention they don't sit right in the strut.

Be patient and wait it out. Do things the safe way not the fast way.

Sometimes the cheaps way leads to the most expensive repair. Better safe than sorry. On cutting springs

There is actually a right way and a wrong way to cut springs. Cutting a spring the correct way will get you a normal ride but a lower ride height. The wrong way, well, you know. I don't know the procedure as i'd never cut springs my self anyway.

 

NO!

buy some used coilovers, i got my tokiko illuminas and GC coilovers for only 300!

DONT CUT/HEAT springs

 

Oh and by the way, cutting the springs will lower the car and make the ride stiffer/bouncy ALWAYS WITH NO EXCEPTIONS THIS IS THE RULE!!!

 

it might mess up ur alignments also..my cousin cut his springs on his rex and its all messed up...he cant even correct his alignment nemore unless he gets new springs

 

if your gonna cut the spring make sure you have a welder hand for this to correct spring allignment, cut the flat top off of the springs with a hand saw then cut what you want off but add a half of an inch to allow you to wend back on the to cut piece, then weld on the top so it sits directly in position of the shock, now you will have your lower ride it will feel just like a coil over set with out the adgusting plates we did it to an ek once and it made a huge difference than just cutting the springs

lol Hell yeah it will ride different. Dont cut your springs.

 

if the spring rates are too low then it's going to be the same as cutting stock springs, ride is fine until you hit a pothole...

 

in other words, save up a little cash and grab some coilovers
