ijust lowered my 95 del sol. i like the way it looks but i want to lower the front a liittle bit lower. so im going to cut them. anything i should know? and yes, i do know it will not ride as well. they are tein s lowering springs also by the way. and i would like to go about 1/2"-1" lower so if anyone has cut these springs how much did you cut? i will be cutting off 1/2 coils each time until i like the riding heigth.

 

No offense but that's a silly idea.

 

How about not being a cheap retarded bastard and buy coilovers

 

Your throwing money away by doing this...

otherwise, nothing, good luck!

 

Wouldn't advise doing that unless you can calculate your spring rates etc using math and formulas.

What shocks are you running?

 

Wow. People are still doing this?

 

Sorry im not rich everyone. Butkyb struts.

 

I'm not rich either. But you won't catch me cutting springs. There's no science behind it. Just go ahead and do it since you will no matter what anyone says.

 

Sigh

 

lol, rides like a caddy

 

Do it the right now, get springs that go lower or get coilovers.

No need to do things the wrong way.

 

you dont have to be rich just dont waste money on stupid ****. buy the cheapest piece of **** ebay coilovers since you obviously dont care about ride quality.

 

You all can go be butthurt somewhere else. I was asking what everyone for advice. Dont be a douche bag on my post. Gtfo if All you have to talk is sh**

 

just because it's not what you wanted to hear doesnt mean it's not sound advice

 

Save two more paycheck and get coilovers or dont modify your vehicle and you can be 'rich'

 

 

Why did you only post 1 pic of your car on your profile?

 

IF IF IF you cut them, cut one of the dead coils off.

cutting springs is a very silly idea, sell the springs and buy coilovers. That is the "correct" way to do things. There is really no reason to cut springs. This isn't the 70's, and these aren't muscle cars.

 

THIS

 

I usually only go on this on my phone and idk how to post them from it. But that picture was before it was loweredIt.

 

cut the spring in half and let us know how it goes

 

dont do it , you know thats a bad idea why waste your time

 

S techs are already too soft for the drop. Just cut them and make it worse.

 

Save up money and buy coilovers. Cut springs is going to ride like absolute ****.

 

this is a life lesson a lot of people need to learn. applies outside of cars as well.

it's not that it'll ride like ****.. it's just not enough spring to support the wieght of the vehicle over bumps and stuff.

op.. prepare to bang, scrape, bounce, and drag until the balljoints break.
