Wow that was quick guys, thanks for replying so fast.......As of right now it rides really good but it just not low enough to how i like my ride to be. I get alot of mixed opinions about this because people have done it and they say that it was actually better and some say it was horrible, but then again alot of people have never experienced or actually had cut springs personally and are going off what others say. But anycase im gonna get some coilovers and do it right. THANKS EVERYONE.

Dude you DONT want to cut springs. besides the shitty ride you'll get 99% of the time, you'll blow a shock in no time. granted some people get luck for "4 years" lol but i would not risk it. i have coilovers and there great. fully adjustable.

if your gunna cut em your better off with OEM

sorry for double post, u posted right before me. just check the specs of the coilovers yurr getting. they will tell you how much they will lower. Also you'll need an aftermarket camber kit if your lowering a lot, and get it aligned. camber and toe. you'll eat up tires otherwise

F20A CB7, take a week off. I will not have my members put at risk because of bad information. You're lucky cut springs didn't end your life. Cars react unpredictably when the suspension is improperly altered.

If you can't at least give advice that isn't dangerous, stay out of this section.


Buddha_Boy, I'm glad to see you have some sense. Cutting any springs, aftermarket or otherwise, is dangerous. If the aftermarket springs are cheap quality "ebay" springs, it's even more dangerous. It was a stupid idea, but that's what this site is here for... to help you learn about your car, and learn what to do... and what not to do!

Whatever you do, make sure you have good shocks. If the car is lowered on original shocks, that is also very dangerous.
Although it's not cheap, I suggest Koni Yellow shocks and Ground Control coilover sleeves. They're safe, high quality, and they will add performance... not just make the car look cool. The shocks also have a lifetime warranty, so if they blow, you get another to replace it.

Enough has already been said.

We don't need to continue. The OP understands what he needs to know.
