I just wanted to know because we cut my freinds today, I also wanted to know how long will they last. Thanks!

 

NOOOOO
DOnt do it your shocks will blow out in like a week

 

it's safe as long as you have altezza taillights too.

 

I dont think safty is really the right question.

cut springs =
Reliability
comfort
handling
looks

Your car will become extremly bouncy and the shocks will blow out really fast!
So for cutting your springs i give it

 

NO!!

your friend is a dumbshit for doing it.

I guess you want "more bounce to the once than a jerri-curl" ride then.

 

Not a good idea

 

If you cut your stock springs your tires will rub in the fender a little too much, and you will probably bottom out more than you would like. when you get lowering springs they are usually much stiffer than the stock to compensate for the ride height being lower, tell your friend to suck it up and get some real springs and don't ever cut your springs.

 

"Cutting" and "springs" shouldn't be used in the same sentence here.

 

Best thread ever!!

Don't cut them you cheapo! Get a nice set of springs like Neuspeed race springs or something.

 

i have cut my springs on my civic si 99 and no problems until now its almost 1 year

OMG....Cutting ? might as well get a blow torch, and then put some weight on the car so it sinks!!

 

we just heated the springs on my buddies winter beater its an old *** vw jetta i think its a 1984?

we also made a cai for it with two filters and we blacked it all out with flat black and next this coming weekend were gonna put 2 12's in it...its gonna be ghetto fabulouse(sp)

 

What the hell are you thinking!? That just doesn't sound logical any way i try to look at it. "I'm going to CUT my springs"....hmmm...does that sound safe in any way, shape, or form? Just say it outloud and think about what your saying. While your at it, just cut your brake lines, and maybe some of the hoses under the hood too. I promise, it's safe.

 

Cutting springs is bad mmmkay?

Expect the car to drop another 2 inches over the next few months.....

It's "better" (though not bye much) to heat them because the same about of spring is there......

Now there's the same amount of weight on less spring, give it sometime and the spring will loose it's strength and start to lower even more. Not to mention blow struts in the next few months too.

 

not a good idea, just spend the $ more some decent springs.

 

good thinking...

 

they're good if you are trying to learn the Bankhead bounce while driving.

 

Go ahead..Cut them..They'll be fine...Don't listen to anyone else. Ride will be smooth as ****. Especially with stock springs..hell yeah...springs coming out of the sockets and ****, I give it a 2 thumbs up.

NO...Don't cut them. You'll die.

 

depends how much you cut them.

 

Why cut them ?

just take the springs out, it will make any car handle like a race car !

well that and a vtec sticker !

but if you wanna go all out, why dont you get some altezzas and make your car into a full race car.

 

Stock springs is a big no no. If you cut no more than a coil for lowering springs, it should be fine.

 

dont cut!!

 

Uh, no. Cutting springs is not a good idea under any circumstances, period.

 

I feel sorry for the guy driving the car, even though this is part of his stupidity.

I just drove a 88 Prelude S w/ cut springs. My head started to hurt within 1 minute. I'm a tall peson and all that boucning around did was hit my head into the ceiling.....constantly. I had a hat on too, and I hate that hard thing on the top of hats. It hurts like hell when it gets jammed into your head.

 

oh please....
