what do u guys think of cutting the stock springs on ma 97 acura cl . . .id like to hear your

 

Don't do it... Get the Sportline springs.

 

unless u enjoy bouncing around frequently like ur car is on a pogo stick, id say def dont do it

 

At first I thought I was on my bodybuilding forum, cutting means diet lol.

 

do it do it

 

Yah, cutting yeah, not a girlyman... haha

 

do not doit. just get clamps ther only like 40 bucks for all four. those are crap to so get ground control coils

 

you can have my coil overs for 50 bucks.....they've been sitting in my garage for 2 years now.....

 

Just bought Eibach Sportlines ( 1 month old/used) for $80!!

I know a guy who is selling his Eibach Sportlines (1 yr old/used) for I think $90-100 shipped. If your intrested, PM me and I can get you his email address.

(I dont know him personally but I almost bought them from him until I found these other springs that were cheaper and newer)

Now...just another $270 for the KYB AGX's and then another $150 for the Camber Kit...

 

actually if you do it right its not bad

 

lame. just get it done right.

 

how about no, scott.

 

or you could also heat them up , i didnt cut them, i heated them . get some springs coilovers suk , gettin rid of mine.

 

This aint the 80's where you had to cut your springs to drop your Corolla 1.8, there are plenty of options out there. BUY SPRINGS, if you gonna mod do it right.

 

dont cut them, dont heat them, unless you want a serious gangsta lean. and its ghetto as hell.

 

Just buy a spring set

 

what the hell is "not bad" when your taking a variable rate spring and choppin 8 inches off it. its not so variable then is it? one coil = shitty ride. and heatin them up is stupid cause your never gonna get them to be the same heigt. which = balled tires in 1k miles.

 

 

dont do it!!!


get eibach sportsprings its most definity worth spending the money.

 

Exactly...if the guy I know still has them, you could get them for about $90-100 total.

(then figure another $400 for the shocks/struts and Camber kit)

 

GHETTO :shakehead

just buy some springs..

 

I hope you weren't expecting to hear a bunch of: go for its.

 

ever thought bout taken out the springs and leave the struts back on?..... now you got your drop, less worrys bout cutting,heating,clamping!.

nah man jus messin! save your cash and buy some good suspension. remember we all here drive an acura. if it was a daiwoo or some shit?, then yea i can understand that.

 

i knew noone would want me to cut em . . .i just wanted to know what else i could do . . .its cause i could get them cut right for free . . .but i guess ill just save about 2 or 3 paychecks and buys some coils . . . .

 

there is no cut right. its a variable rate spring, each coil varies on eath other.

 

hell. no. thats ghetto as hell man. save up for some sportlines and new shocks/struts.

I had cut springs on my 97 Accord along with the bumpstops trimmed down to nearly nothing and it rode awesome. I also cut the springs on my 3.2CL when I first bought it and it rode awesome too. Everyone on here said it would ride terrible so I actually took a member on this board (tinman) for a ride and he vouched for me that it rode nearly stock. I speak from experience, not based upon what I've been told.

heh, post up a pic of your cl now dumped to the ground

oh and i rode in my friends hatch with cut springs and his shit was so bouncy it made me sick, so I dunno, I guess for each car theres just too many variables when you cut springs

 

he probably didn't cut the bumpstop down enough so it was bottoming out all the time. I've been in just about every generation civic with cut springs and they rode great. Did he cut stock springs or aftermarket? When I had my old 97 accord I cut down some neuspeed race springs and it rode terrible...then I cut the bump stop down to almost nothing and it rode much better. I eventually put the factory springs in and cut those and it rode great.

 

Do it, and end up like me, having bad camber and fucked up inside tire tread. And no, I didn't do it, the former owner did, who is obviously really smart.
