i def would not advise doing that your car will ride extremely bouncy, and you wont be able to cut the springs exactly the same length and having different length springs isnt a good thing for your suspension.
Sanguinius -> RE: Cut the springs? (5/15/2005 11:08:35 PM)
Not only do you have the differing lengths but you also have to worry about the surfaces being flat so that you don't cut into other parts and your ride is DEFINATELY gonna suck. If you're going ghetto for your suspension lowering I suggest taking a hose clamp and wrapping it around 2 coils and using that to compress a section of the springs. Again not good for the springs themselves but your ride will be a LITTLE smoother.

How white trash do you have to be to cut your springs to drop your car. Spend the ****ing money and buy a lowering kit. [:)]

i was referring to cutting as being dangerous and stupid

When changing your springs or cutting them, you will also affect the camber. Lowering your car includes springs, new shocks if over 1.5" drop, and a camber adjustment kit.
