Step 1: Remove spring from vehicle
Step 2: Put spring in chop saw and cut off desired number of coils
Step 3: Put springs back on vehicle
Step 4: Have a seizure from the terrible ride and die in a car wreck because your entire suspension is compromised.

p.s. I'm tired of people doing things like this

So,why dont you do it the safe and proper way and buy struts and springs?

Don't look at me to tell you how to cut your springs because I don't want to be responsible for your and other road users safety.

you know for only 49.98 you can go with these generic looking things

and it would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much safer than cutting your oem springs, you dont HAVE to change the struts

i have a lifetime warranty at autozone for all four of my direct replacement gabriel struts, and they honor it every time because my best friend is a store manger there

it seems you are just trying to save money by not buying springs, if thats the case get ready to front up money for new tires every year or two, because your tires will not wear evenly if you drop the car. you need to buy a camber kit. sure cutting springs is the easy, and presumably cheaper way to drop your ride, but there is so much more involved in dropping your ride.

i imagine the adjusted cost of cutting your springs, assuming thats the only thing you intend to do, (presumably to save money) will cost you 600 dollars over a two year period, more than if you actually left your car where it is and or dropped it properly

If you are too poor to afford proper suspension, then don't modify it.

[PR CB7]

2.5 coils in the front
1.3 coils in the rear

is what you have to cut

[Flatline]

its your car not ours, and the person you kill when the rear unloads too hard around a sharp corner and your front end flies around too late at 45mph, was someone elses child/father/mother/son/daughter and then YOUR CAR, becomes THEIR PROBLEM.


way to be inconsiderate.

and for the record, i rode in a plymouth with cut springs today, it rides like a mechanical bull. if you like the metal rods shoved up your ass every time you run over a pebble, go ahead, it's not my ass.

[crazymikey]

I just say no to cut springs because I've owned enough lowered trucks to know that the ride is absolutely horrible, especially when you're talking torsion bar front suspension and leaf spring rears with lowering blocks.

That shit IS a mechanical bull. I don't know how my insides aren't broken after 3 years of driving around in slammed trucks.

I want to drop my Accord and sure,I could do it quickly and easily by chopping my springs, but it isn't safe and it causes more problems in the long run, so I'm saving up to do it right. I don't like driving haggard jalopies, and I've driven quite a few of those.

[hybrid90accord]

then just buy some springs for like 4100 or try ebay but dont be cheap or ghetto and cut the factory springs you will bounce all over the place and look like a clown in the process,

Oh, were right! The proof is out there.
I pray you don't have any kids ride in the car with you. I hope you learn your lesson and don't hurt somebody at the same time.

[pedroalcala]

Let us know when you kill someone or get into an accident as well
