DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! No different than riding on Riceland/Rokkor coilovers

 

Wait, can the stock springs even be cut? Thought they were bee-hived but I could wrong, If they are bee-hived they will not seat after being cut and that will 100x more dangerous. Hopefully after you cut them, they wont even be possible to re-install.

 

^^^Errol has been on cut stock springs without issue for like a year now... So yes the stockers can be cut without issue...

 

his struts blew out after like 6 months...

 

lmao ^

 

haha ^ well I wasn't talking about going THAT low like errol, I just wanted to be maybe 1.75" lower than stock, so only like .25" or so lower than S-Tech's

 

I use to believe all the hype about buying vs cutting. Ive done both. I vote for cutting. Reason is the ride is softer til you bottom out. Progressive springs become firmer and a bump will cause your teeth to fall out vs hearing the underside of your car or air dam scrape. This is of course you also cut your bump stops.

If you do not cut or edit your bump stops the ride is just choppier, but you still have the full range of travel til you bottom out. Performance springs wont bottom out.

If you go for springs go for ones with no dead coils.

Cutting performance springs just makes for a horrible ride altogether.

Keep in mind the shocks control the rebound, so just cutting your springs wont make your car bouncy unless you drill a hole in the shock to let the fluid/gas out.

Now if you want your car to ride like a 10 year old camry, go drive it 60mph down a dirt road. :D

 

^ well if have no care about handling dynamics and just want rice-it-low with zero decent performance then I guess you could take that approach that post is like the poster for how to poorly modify a suspension system

 

Nothing like strappin down all 4 corners for that soap box derby ride. :D

 

damm A's get me all the time....

 

Just Buy s-techs dude. I dont see why that is such a bad idea. You can sell your htechs and make back at least half teh difference.

 

As a matter of fact, it didnt & its not all that bouncy.

If you dont wanna cut then try clamps.

 

i know this is a somewhat old thread but i cut my eibach pro springs because i wanted to go lower just like most people and i was nervous at first but i still have the stock springs if i didn't end up liking it. but I've had them cut for a couple weeks and its not all that bad like people say it is a bouncy and hard ride but thats to be expected if you wanna go lower. they do sit a little weird but i expected that but they havnt shifted or moved around or anything also there is no noises coming from them unless their sitting wrong. ill post pictures when i have time

 

Cool im trying to find some stock springs someone wants to sell so i cant do this for the time being until i have enough moolah for coils.

 

there is too much to say about how bad and dangerous (as in fatal) this is....

FWIW, these are one of many side effects of cut springs...

 

Looks more like a Heated spring instead of cut...
but thats a whole other poor mans lowering kit. lol.

 

Another wrong or misleading post by KidJustin...

Heating with a toarch will do that...cutting will not. Either one is bad news!

 

..

 

Yes I agree that cutting springs is bad/wrong…but you would have been just as wrong had you posted a picture of a Smurf and stated that your face will turn blue if you cut your springs. That photo you posted was a result of someone torching a spring and not knowing what they were doing! BTW, do you live in East LA that you are coming up with all these slamming fails?

 

nope, not in ELA
