Hey guys...

Just brought a set of Trust springs n shocks for the eg6, but however the springs were standard height...making my car look like a 4wd handling beast lol, but yeh ...would it be a good idea to compress these springs? since they are good and the compression rate is good? or would it be a bad idea? eg6 and eg5 springs are the same are they? cos if compressing the spring is bad idea then i will just get another lowered spring set?...hmmm :confused:

just get another lower set.
no point in compressing cos the spring rate is designed for their current height.

you cannot "compress" any set of springs any lowe than it sits in the suspension - you refer to "resetting" the springs, via re-heating them up and then changing the stroke length etc. IMO dont do this.

Get some kmac/king springs and get super-lows to get that low look u want

re-set springs lead to premature and dangerous faliure
