lilschwikes Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 I agree but to be completely honest if no one ever cut there springs back in the old days there probably wouldn't be any lowering springs on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilschwikes Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Ya I'm serious the only reason aftermarket springs were made was because of racing but its off topic and this threads done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I think we can all agree that cutting springs does compromise both the strength and therefore the safety of operation in a road-driven environment. For amateur on-track situations, it should be okay to determine optimal ride height for track use. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated thefultonhow Posted January 9, 2012 I Donated Share Posted January 9, 2012 You do realize that by cutting your springs, you lose any resale value they might have had, right? So, if you are buying coilovers anyway, you've basically just made them $100-150 more expensive, because now you can't sell your Teins. But hey, with the way you write and think, I wouldn't expect you to have thought of that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosAngelesLGT Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 you do realize that adjusting height with coilovers is not like flipping a switch. you have to do it very carefully and you will need an alignment everytime Adjustment? "Everyone" knows the proper way to setup coilovers is to immediately drop the height all the way to the lowest setting and dial the dampening up as high as it will go.

boymk123 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 all springs with different coil numbers will have different diameter, even material... so by cutting spring, you violate the law of physics behind everything, and it's pretty dumb if you ask anybody... http://www.fohguild.org/forums/attachments/general/183497d1316737238-possible-challenge-e-mc2-einstein-may-need-revising-funny-pictures-anti-gravity-cat-chalkboard.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autoevo Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I agree but to be completely honest if no one ever cut there springs back in the old days there probably wouldn't be any lowering springs on the market. Back in the day they didn't have progressive spring rates. I mean we are talking cutting springs on old hoopties. I did it on my 77 Coupe but that was after getting spring from a lifted Dodge Ram that had insanely high spring rates(and i was 16 years old and didn't give an eff). Just be patient and wait to buy the correct springs/CO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I cut my springs once. I was 16. My struts lasted about a week... Hit one bump in the road and my car would keep bouncing for a couple blocks. It was gangsta. Go buy a Honda. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
