i just recently installed my neuspeed sports with tokico shocks and i just bought rims some gs/ls mesh rims on it now that i got those rims i wanna drop it more becuz to me it looks kinda like stock height jus a lil lower...should i cut my springs and make it race specs or should i get coilovers and just do it that way..or should i wait for new tires den decied cuz it did come with 195/55/15 on them what should i do?

 

either spring is not recomended for tokico blues,

If your have the iluminas, then your ok.

If you just want lower, I have some sprint springs, that are 2.5 front and 2.25 rear if your want to trade...

Coil overs would work too.. I have a set of OBX coil overs... I can get rid of too..

If your only interested in the look I would get some cheap coil overs so you can put the car where you want it.. ..I would also get a life time alignment, and get that done ever time decide to move your perches..

and your going to need a camber kit if you already don't have one..

 

well id say do what you really want to do. i really dont know why people say dont cut your springs. i dont see the big deal. it will stifin up though. but if ya wanna do it the right way get the coilovers. i think its wurth the money to be able to adjust height

 

Dude, don't cut your springs. You will mess up the spring rate and your car will look like a bouncing whooptie. Save your money and do it right.

found the solution

 

One thing for certain, if you cut your springs you risk warping them. When you do that, your ride will sag and basically your car will probably bounce around and look like ****. Also, you risk cutting them and not making the springs match. So you might have a longer or shorter spring. I would just find a decent adjustable coil over kit or get a really nice expensive true coilover system ei, H&R or Tein. I would go with a GC/Koni yellow setup. I have that.

 

damn i think i will just stay with my springs uncut and when i come up with the money mayb get some coilovers but there soo much money..what do u guys think of obx brand coilovers? are they good? (as in ride quality)

I'd stay away from obx. Just get yourself some GC's or skunk2's and call it a day.

 

cut em bro ~ i had the same springs cut 4 1/2 in the front and 4 in the back. on stock shocks it rode fine. the only differance was i was on 50 series.theres a pic floating a couple threads back about LS mesh rims on a hatch .. you can see the hieght on the pic. i was on a half of half bump stop.

I want more literature on this. I have Neuspeed sports and tokico blues and my setup works great. Are you saying that tokico blues need stiffer springs or softer springs?

 

I have cut mine on everything I have owned(trucks, mustangs, Old Cars). Just don't do it with a torch it takes the temper out of the springs. I have always used a die grinder with a cut-off wheel. Mine has never bounced or rode like s#*t.

Just my .02

 

I have some Neuspeed race for your car

if interested PM me

 

anyone got gc's or skunk2 coilovers for trade or something we can work out? cuz now i want to dump my car lower grr...

 

I can get GC for a dealer pirce if you want.. lte me know..

and tokico blues are not recommended for coilovers,, they are not made for that much of a drop..

 

I got either a set of weapon r coilovers i can trade, or i got a full set of apc with 2 other ones, not sure. But I can trade you the 4 weapon r's, or the 4 apc ones with the 2 others.. LMK..

 

skunk 2 coilovers and tok blues would make a pretty nasty ride quality

no its that the spring rate of the skunk2's is too much for the tokico blues to handle..

Weapon R are not really good imo. If you get regular sleve collar coilovers get some skunk 2's or Ground control. If you want you can get diff springs for the skunk 2's for only $60. I have skunk 2 on my coupe with illumnas and they work good for the price. For daily driving id rather have a progressive rate regular lowering spring and good struts such as Koni or Tokiko illumnas work great

 

You have a good suspension setup, don't mess with it just cuz you got the wrong size tires. You need 195/50/15 tires to get you back to the height you want. Just get the tires, it will be much less of a hassle. And speaking from experience cutting springs is not a good idea. Neuspeed sports are a good spring, any lower and the ride is seriously shitty. I have Neuspeed race springs and I hate it. It's great on the track but sucks so bad driving around town.

 

my advice to you: just save up your money and don't cut the springs or you'll regret it
