Hey All!

I'm not an XB owner, but hope to be one soon. Anyhow, I have no idea how the springs look for the XB and I'm wondering if they can be cut? Not the stocks, but aftermarket springs. The reason why is because some springs cannot be cut simply because of it's odd shape. Once it's cut, it maynot fit back into the struts.

Thanks

Looking at this pic at the bottom, I'm assuming that the rear springs are not able to be cut and still able to fit back into the original position. Or maybe it's just these particular springs?

That's the Tein setup. It's adjustable, I want that for my xB.

the front could be cut if you really wanted to, but no way on the rears. The rears are pig tailed top and bottom. Springs are like $200 for a nice set of spy's or eibachs.

Nilo from TSW cut one coil on his Eibachs and it looks sick. I may cut 1/2 a coil from my front Spy's.

so there's no way to get the car really low unless you go for the coilovers?

If someone can direct me to some pics of the front springs and rear springs, that would be great :D Performance springs or Stock is fine.

cutting springs is idiotic
