Springs

[VTEC96]

After reading many threads there has been much discussion on springs and cutting em, etc etc But yet i am still confused, If there was only a choice of cutting springs or getting them compressed. what would be best??

[ICACHA]

are they original or aftermarket springs? that will make a big difference on the answers :)

[z3lda]

compress is the cheapest and most safest alternative to buying new springs if u can't afford it

[Q_ball]

choppin is sooooo dodgy!
agree with zelda!

[TODA AU]

Neither, buy the correct spring

[ah8118]

agreed. do neither. buy the correct springs as compressing and chopping springs can be dangerous...

[|N|]

neither... do the right thing or simply dun do it....

[civ_sik]

lol bad question man, just get proper custom springs far safer...

[mr_mojo02]

i had chopped springs in my last car... worked fine till i had to make a car corner... the car behaved unpridictibly when ur pushing the limits and i was always concerned the springs were gunna fall out lol

wouldnt do it again.. as prev guys have said, chopping ur springs is very dangerous and u should get the right gear the first time round

buy proper springs

[z3lda]

he probly can't afford new springs, thats why his asking which is a better option.

[VTEC96]

cool, they are king springs sports ride, they dont make super lows for some vehicles, and i want them to make the car to sit lower, thats y im asking.

Cutting/compressing can be dodgey dude :(

Ever thought of adjustable coil-overs? Or just want the slammed look?

Look around, there will be some springs somewhere that will fit your car :)

I dunno, when i have my lude, chopped springs worked REALLY well. Even the shop that i took it too were really suprised. No issues. Though all of you are correct.. it is dangerous, and unpredictable if done incorrectly.

Mine was puuurfect!

Mine was puuurfect!
There There little one :p

Depends how hard you drive it, especially cornering...

If you think the juice is worth the squeeze, then do so :D

[Q_ball]

i say best thing to do is to spend that lil bit xtra and get urself some new ones!

[MrPlow]

Nothign wrong with compressing springs abit - just not too much - you need to allow for travel.....

As for chopping - NEVER DO IT!

[LO_N_SXC]

If you really want your car slamedd just take them all out!

[z3lda]

if u want it even more slammed after taking them out. take off your wheels and ride on the rotors.
