If its done right could you cut your springs if you do it the right way i know they get weak over time but i didnt know if you cut they if it would hurt fast i tried searching but did not find anything using search

 

Cutting springs is NEVER "done right" Spend the $150 and get some springs!!! They're not even expensive ..... then and only then do you even have the ability to "do it right"

Take it as flaming if you want, but if you plan to push the car AT ALL, this could save your life and others around you.

 

dont be a fool man you will never get it right cutting your springs. save up and buy a used set if anything for around 60 - 100.

 

lol for another cut springs thread.

IBTL!!

 

i have a set of spring on the car now but i just want to go a tad bit lower and i feel like its not even worth it

 

lol dave i knew you was going to come in and do that but im at work and i cant seem to find the thread so yes IBTL

 

lol yeah cutting a spring will never be right.. and its ok, you cant find any on search coz these threads are usually locked and then deleted lmao

 

Thanks Ace and i know it will never be done right but does it work for awhile

 

I've heard of people "heating" the springs but NEVER cutting the springs!...

 

it might work, but dont expect it to be reliable or even sit right.. to me its not worth the hassle trying

 

I know that part but i have a shop that i have every tool possible to do it. im sure it could or might sit right if you mark it right and cut it

 

each spring sags differently. so when you put it on a car they might be all cut the same but when they sit it will be uneven.

 

Heating the springs is not a good idea either...

 

Have you ever seen how a spring is made,they are spre tensioned to a certain rate when they are made,cutting them or heating them changes that rate,sure it makes you lower,but your ride will be worse,you will handle worse,you will kill your struts sooner,you will end up in about 6 months paying more to fix all the problems caused than a top end set of coilovers cost........You sound dead set on doing this cutting so please go and do it......but when the car is worse off than when started please feel free to spend your hard earned money to fix it.....

 

Its just i cant really find cheap coils anymore i had a eclipse and it was so cheap to work on now these cars are so new you have to buy name brand..

 

there is no right way to cut springs...

 

heating springs is worse, hot rod guys do it but it makes for horrible handling and a worse ride.

cutting springs is also a terrible idea. cutting corners with cars is never a good idea. the only thing that confuses me is that Chip Foose is cutting spring on Overhaulin all the time. and hes very well respected when it comes to car building, idk i would never even consider it though just save the money and do it right.

 

i love the "please dont flame"

dont do it.. save for springs, they're not that expensive

 

With that sn, I wouldn't recommend it.

IBTL

 

cut away its your car and your dangering your self and other drivers and pedestrians...
