Cutting Spring....

[tommy1223]

i was just wondering on what are the pros and cons of cutting the springs on ur car to make it lower...how will it effect the car and such...?

[three.eighteen.]

its all con man...except that your car will look lower

[jdmakkord]

Only a retard would bother chopping stock springs! Save up a huge 300 bux and buy lowering springs instead!

[2000impreza]

spend the money and buy decent lowering springs. cutting springs is a ghetto way of getting the lowered "look". not to mention it screws up the spring rate and ride quality...

[StrokeD z]

cut your springs dont wast 300bux i have dont it be for with a hack saw it took a while but it worked but ride is a bit stiff thats all

[dsm69]

heat up the springs with a torch to lower your car.

What kind of car?

Are you stupid? if you heat up the springs then they get brittle and then if you hit a pot hole then the sping may bust nd then you'll have to spend a helluva lot more then $300 to get it fixed....just do it the right way

[StrokeD z]

ok if you care about safety so much can you tell me what is wrong with cutting them is there any danger in that

:rolleyes: I'll get right on that.... screw getting the springs as its a waste of money...:rolleyes:

[Rsxstacy]

Dont do it...

[littledan]

you should cut your springs... save $$$ over actual lowering springs

you should chop off your muffler and weld on a foldgers coffee can... cheaper than even an ractive...

instead of getting rims you can just wrap your hubcaps in aluminum foil for that bling bling look

and instead of buying a cai... just take used toilet paper rolls and duck tape them together

seriously... chopping your springs is retarded

[Superesc]

Big No-No.

But hey if you really want to cut it, HACK AWAY!!!

It's people like you that give enthusiasts a bad name. Some day lowering your vehicle may get you a ticket because a few people choose to do it the retarded way and cause an accident because of it, so all of us who do it properly have to pay the price. I bet you didn't even get an alignment after cutting your springs either.


For shame :thumbsdow

Look at the car you drive. Of course you don't care -- you probably don't even care about your own life. Do you have sex with small animals while driving fast (as fast as you can in your beater) down Deerfoot Trail? Fucking idiot -- go back to www.mullet-fuckers.com

Don't cut your springs. That's the cheap, impatient way to do it. If your gonna do it, do it right and buy lowering springs.

Definately don't cut or heat up your springs. Speed Dreams is correct in saying that it could alter the strength and impact toughness of the spring (for good or worse nobody knows unless it's tested).
You'll save yourself money in the long run by going with a quality lowering spring. IMHO if you don't have the cash right now to lower your car properly then wait till you do.
