What up everyone, I got my car and it currently has lowering springs (I dont know the brand) the springs are lime green, but anycase have you heard of anyone cutting a coil or two off of there aftermarket springs to lower it a inch more or so, it was just a thought because i know i can easily buy some coilovers and lower it like that but i have experienced the super bounciness of coilovers on my past CB7's (this is my 3rd). Thanks.

Green aftermarket springs are most likely Tein, Suspension Techniques, or eBay specials.
But anyways, just what Josh said. Cut springs produce really shitty ride quality. Get better springs, shocks, both, or coilovers if you want to go lower AND retain or get better ride quality.Comment

That is total BS, care to explain how CUT springs saved you in the corner?Originally posted by F20A CB7 View Post
OP Cut springs are dangerous reguardless.
If you want a drop get matched springs and shocks to suit your required drop.

So please explain how you think cut springs helped you.Originally posted by F20A CB7 View Post
Or would you be reffering to the fact that the car suspension was just lower and that helped?

Not much of a compelling argument... but ok.Comment

to the OP, let me put this in kind of blatant terms for you,
cheap lowering springs in general are crap,
but cutting cheap lowering springs is like saying "i am better of just driving my car off a cliff while i go for the ride"You don't have to like what he did, but I would hope that you can appreciate the time, money and love that went in to the build. If you can't, you're not really an enthusiast, just another dumb kid with a car.

Thats just the point I was trying to get at - It wasn't the fact of cut springs, rather the lowered rideheight.Originally posted by F20A CB7 View Postya, car sat lower and it helped me, granted if i had oem stock heigh sus. i wouldve crashed, thats all friend
As I said, I don't advise anyone to cut springs.
But if young new people see posts saying cut springs saved my life, they can take it the wrong way and start thinking that cut springs are the best thing ever.
Then start posting up pictures of their Cb thats 10mm off the ground sitting on the bumpstops and saying "It's a bit bumpy but damn this CB handles like a train on rails"

I am in no way endorsing this but I had a Civic hatch back in the day that had Sprint lowering springs on it. I cut em down, didn't feel much difference. Of course that was a Civic, probably gonna be a lot different with an Accord. But like I said I wouldn't recommend it.
