hey i gotz a question. alright i had a friend and he was telling me instead of paying for springs i can just get mine cut. but some of the places i go tell me they wont cut them b/c they think its crazy. what happens to the ride if ya cut them.. is it realyl that bad bc i can get it done for cheep. thanks please get back

 

dont do it, get springs

 

what would happen if i cut them??? thats what im askin

 

Your car isn't going to ride very nice and will get worse over time. That's the ghetto way to drop your ride.

 

your car will bottom out all the time, if you lower your car, youneed to increase the spring rates.

 

doesnt cutting springs increase the spring rate

 

sometimes....only on progressive springs...on my 72 bug i cut the springs and tested the rate and they were still stronger than the lowering springs i had bought. But on cars like ours....the springs arent progressive enough to cut them and they still work.........get some lowering springs.....

 

You shouldn't even think about cutting the springs. The ride is going to suck if you do that. Your best bet is to buy lowering springs.

 

Yeah just by the springs, theres a million things that could go wrong when cutting your own springs.

 

true thanx to all yall hope to see some of yall representing at nopis PEACE

 

i rode in a car yesterday that the guy had cut the springs.. i didnt know they were cut until all of a sudden he see's a speed bump and yellows "oh fuck!" and tries to slow down and then BANG.. --- we go over another speed bump about 15 sec later and he was going fucking slow and it was still a REALLY bumpy ride..

i wouldnt suggest it.. not a pleasant ride
