cutting stock coils


panicrev

Recommended Posts

after searching for awhile i could not find an answer...

any links to previous threads pertaining to how many coils to cut off for a set drop? if i had the $ i'd buy springs but shit is tight right now. this is only a temporary lowering until i can afford quality coilovers...

 

example

1/2 a coil = ? in lowering.

 

any help is greatly appreciated.

 

btw i am fully aware of the reprecussions of cutting stock coils. i am just trying to minimize how many times i have to remove and re-install my springs. many thanks to all that can help

Why does it HAVE to be lower? Why not just wait until you have the money for springs?

if you do, then you know that it was a stupid question to start with. cutting springs is straight ghetto and 100% the wrong way to do it.

 

if you don't have the coin to do it right, then don't do it.

I suggest you get used to the way the car looks, then. Keep your eyes open for used springs, and find some locals that'll help you with the install. Then all you need money for is the alignment (which you'd need anyway), and the springs themselves.

I would very much prefer to leave it alone rather than start cutting coils to lower your car...

 

+1, not worth it

 

set of springs typically isn't that expensive. also when i switched to coilovers i practically gave my tein h-techs away for free, so like other members have said, keep an eye on your regional and classifieds postings

Unless the driver is also a fat ass, that will put the car out of balance and severely affect the handling, I wouldn't advise it.

 

 

who cares about handling and balance?? It's all about being the lowest nephew.
