This guy who works at a shop tells me that to install stock springs are real pain to do, will cutting the stock spring make it easier for him to put back on?

Another question, If I wanted to lower the car by cutting the spring, Is there a way to do this with the spring still on the vehicle or should I take the whole thing off to cut and what do I cut the spring with? Do I cut the spring at the top or at the bottom? (Cutting spring is just a temporary thing until I get my ground control coilovers)

 

No you can't cut the spring on the car, thats asking for even more problems than cutting your springs comes with anyway. Do yourself a favor, don't cut your springs. You can find a set of lowering springs from the For Sale forum sometimes for under a bill. Or just wait for your GCs.

 

Yes installing stock springs is a pain in the ****, but do not cut the stock springs. It is bad for the shocks and makes the car unsafe. Just wait until you get the GC's.

 

don't cut...just wait for the GC

 

installing stock springs is NOT a pain its like installing any other springs.. all u neeed is the thing i dont know what u call it but it compresses the spring to make the installation EZ.. if u dont have it... u can rent it from pep boys or autozone or even just take ur shocks to a mechanic and he can do it for u as most of them have that thingy... and plzz dont say its a pain in the ***.. as its NOT u lazy guys..

 

you ever done it before? The spring compressors you rent from auto stores are difficult enough to use as it is w/ the spring on the shock. Trying to compress them down far enough to get them back on is even harder. I personally haven't done it but friends of mine have, and they say doing that job SUCKS.

 

cutting springs is asking 4 trouble and headaches down the road. just get springs or coilovers. you can find them 4 under a $100
these days

 

cutting the springs is a bad idea....its goin to mess up your suspension.....how long till u get your ground control....if i were u just wait it'll be worth it...if you really want to lower your car just go classified you will be amaze how many ppl sells lowering springs or coilover for integra....

 

just get lowering springs and performance shocks or a coil over system.. you'll be much happier w/ the handling and lowering.... and it won't be bouncing all over the place and look all ghetto...

 

i brought my car with the springs cut( well im asuming they are cause there no names on the spring) not bouncy at all handles pretty well and i love the drop the car came with so im gonna ride the springs out with some kyb agx im instaling really soon...other than that i added a type r strut towet set with these springs i mention and stock "blown shocks" car doesnt bounce but isnt very stable with the shocks being shot to hell but the kybs should tighten her back up....comments wanted and welcome....
