question about cutting springs

[DatFlyBoy]

got a extra set of lowering springs..but i wanna slam my car. i wanna know if cutting the springs would be a bad thing to do and if it would affect the comfort of the ride

[93accordexcoupe]

yea dont do it, it will ride like crap, blow ur shocks, and not handle any better

[blackcb7]

please dont do it...k thanks

[perrero69]

yea dode. dont do it. trust me, i know from expirience

[NAiL05]

As everyone said dont do it. You will feel every bump on the road...you mess up the spring rates...and you risk raping up all your suspension components other than your shocks if its improperly lowered plus its a hazard.

like they said. cutting the springs would be a BAD IDEA. i'd rather run on cheapo eBay psudo coil-over POS rather then cutting the springs...

cutting springs is the worst idea unless you are super super conservative with your money. just save up and get some real nice coilovers just make sure you do some thread searching to find out all about the best suspension set ups. later

okae....i seem to notice everybody don't like cut springs huh?well if u cut 4 or more then it'll be bouncy....this goes onto the stock front springs...i cut 3 coils of my spring with a brand new OEM struts that cam with the car when i bought it and 6 in the rear(it takes 2 coil on the rear to even it out with the front)i drove with that suspention setup for about 3 yrs now and still have no problem with it....no blown suspention...and nothing damage in my suspention system....no blown bushing or what not...then i bought a skunk2 sleeve...and the ride was a bit bouncy and harsh...then i bought a KYB adjustable suspention...still the same didn't make that much diff....then i bought sprint extreme lowering springs...still didn't like it....my stock cut springs feels alot better....rides way better than stock hieght...way better i mean u can really feel the diffrence from stock springs to sleeve overs to lowering springs...and im my opinon my stock cut springs feels way better very comfortable...handeling is good....remeber i've had this cut springs for 3 yrs including sleeve overs to lowering springs...and still no problem...just saving the kyb until my oem sturts blows on me....just speaking from experince!

Cutting springs isn't that bad when you know what you're doing. I cut 1.5 dead coils off the back of my Tanabe DF210s and my car rode exactly the same as it did before.

As far as stock springs, you can cut about 1.5-2 coils off the front and 2-2.5 DEAD coils off the back...but the front will be pretty stiff. For all that work though I'd rather just buy some Neuspeed Sports.
