Cutting springs

[slimx]

Hey guys im cheaping out on springs, i got myself some Free stock springs, im gona chop'm this is the 3rd time im doing it i ****ed up twice so this time ill ask.

How many coils is it best to cut to make the car sit comfortable on top of a tyre (ive got 17" wheels), i just want that nice lowered JDM look at the moment my car is like SEXSPEC dropped to its ass i believe its on bump stops? lol like for the sydney people im sure u guys could imagine what parramatta Rd is like for me lol.

heres pics (only the rear) the fronts got proper springs.



p.s if your gonna reply telling me to buy new springs i already know thats what im suppose to do im just a little short on cash.

Safety issue. Don't even bother.

Don't recomend it to you or anyone reading this.

Damn.

Do it once, Do it RIGHT.

Don't cut springs. It's major unsafe and not worth it. Don't be impatient.

Save up and get proper springs. Hunt around the 'for sale' thread and wait. People do sell off springs at around half the original retail price.

agree with everyhting above, but there are a lot of people who do it. While i cant answer your question, and even if i could i wouldnt as what you are doing is putting you and everyone else on the road in danger...

Just some further food for though:

its defectable
if you have an accident and the assessor spots it (i know your thinking i'll just take it home and change the spirngs, but lets say you went for the cheapest insurer eg. AAMI, if its not drivable you dont get to take it, tow trucks are directed to take the cars straight to the AAMI centres)... so, if the assessor spots it you are up for the damage to yours car, and anyone else porperty including houses cars shops, telegraph poles etc...

Good luck mate

^^^ Yeh! Hell, I have done it when I was young, stoopid and did not know better. But now knowing the safety issues and consequences, of course I would never do it again.
