i am in a tight budget so i cant buy a set of coilovers now. so i was wondering if i cut my spring on all 4 will it cause any damage, and if i do it right will it be alright ? i know coilovers are the best thbing to get but right now i cant afford 1 yet and i only want to drop my car abt 2 inches low so what do i do ?

 

id say wait. just not worth it for a crappy ride. save your money up and do it the right way.

 

yea i just thought abt it so i not gonna do it

 

I bought a set of coils but knew they were gonna take a week, so just for ***** and giggles I took out the torch and very slowly lowerred my beater about 2.5 inches all the way around. I only work on the top two circles and they were pretty much almost collapsed on eachother when I was done.

It too me a good 70-80 min to get it pretty perfect with a 1 finger gap all the way around, costs was obviously almost nothing, just some butane and HONESTLY the ride isnt that bad, wasnt as good as OEM but **** it was very very cheap, easy to do and looked bad ***

Im sure Ill do it to my winter beater as well

 

Yes it will cause damage, you will blow your struts and have a bouncy ride.

 

I ended up with **** spray out of my rear passenger strut on a set of cut springs. To my defense, I was 18 and only cared about getting as low as possible, but with a set of Neuspeed race springs I got almost as much of a drop and still haven't broken any oem struts. It just rides like crap though with oem struts.

Overall I don't think the neuspeeds made my ride any better than the cut springs, but cornering was improved greatly.

Don't do it

 

Yeah i heated my springs once in my old eclipse and the ride was like ****. hated. I think you would be better just getting coilovers off ebay for 45 dollars
