Naw, I hear ya man. This is just a question but what do you think about cutting stock springs?

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

..... everyone here is gonna say no..

kidduce

iTrader: (1)

And I know that, but is there really a con to it? I mean I want springs ya but ai have the resources to cut why not?

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

you'll mess up the spring rates of the stock springs...

shorten it and spring travel is.. gonna go crazy pretty much...

not really the safest way..

the time and energy you put into taking out the stock supension, then takin apart just to cut your spring isn't worth shit

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

where are you located? go search on craigslist for springs.. you can pick up a set for atleast $100.. used or new.. watever...

I know, I just needed to be scolded. Im in Sac, ill find some im sure ill even buy brand new ones just exploring my options and seeing peoples point of view on certain things. Thanks, appreciate the input though.

I got new springs and Tockio blues for like ~550. I wouldnt cut your springs...come on man..this isnt an escort or something.. lol.

Cutting your springs ruins the spring rate. They are wound to compress at a certain rate. You cut part of it and it throws it off. Plus they dont sit properly in the perch. Just buy them designed to be lowered.

jus for ur information, tirerack.com has a road test comparison of the h&r sports vs. the eibach pro-kit. it was fairly helpful in making my decision. Although some of their points about the springs were not very decisive, it was still another good source of info...

and looks like your front isn't sitting right... wheels is pushed back...

StonedCL

iTrader: (1)

Front and rear was droped the same, if u look at a stock cl u will se more gap in front then back. It does look pushed back a little but yhe back looks the same i guess that is how its suppose to be, The car RIDES great and alignment was perfect, just the toe was off alittle

Ya thats pretty koo. I guess ill just save and get shocks all together save myself the time of doing it twice. I mean lets sat I found some used right, is there really harm in that?

fsttyms1

What? Used shocks? Unless you knew they were low mileage and werent driven slammed i wouldnt touch them.

StonedCL

iTrader: (1)

yeah and some shocks that offer lifetime warrenties only offer it to the original owner of the shocks so thats worth peice of mind!

twistedwedge

Is that knot in your rear tire sidewall anything to be concerned about?

fsttyms1

Yes that bubble is something to be concerned about. The belts in the tire are broken and can cause the tire to be dangerous.

haha naw guys, im talking about springs. Wouldn't make any sense to do that with used shocks.

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

^ why?

just save money and instead of buying used shocks.. buy new ones...

speedemon90

A lot of you guys are talking about the stance and comfort the spring give, but what about handling wise? Because if I do decide to get springs/shocks I would want them to handle really well. I love taking corners what can I say. But of course i would take comfort into the question, lower not so much since i know it will be lower. But which springs/shocks show the best compromise for handling and comfort?? And i dont mind sacrificing some comfort for more handling.

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

^ H&R... then probably Eibach.... then i dunno

Yeah I know about my Bubble, I have 2 tire with bubbles in these Fusions. I have Hazard warrenty but hadent had time to stop there to get my new tires. Will prob stop there later this week.
