THIS IS NOT TO START YET ANOTHER HE SAID SHE SAID THREAD! I SIMPLY WANT TO SEE PICTURES.

My friend just gave me a set of stock 01 springs off his his Z and now i want to cut the front two and put them on mine cause A: im balling on a budget, and B: who cares if they mess up, go too low, ride like crap, etc etc. i have a perfect set i can reinstall. so can i see some cut spring pictures!?

Thanks guys!

 

I just took some cut stock springs off today cause I bought some Eibach pro springs and to be honest with you I dont feel any difference so I would save the money unless your going with a better lowering spring. Dont have any pics at the moment

 

Just make sure you cut them with something low heat. Don't use a torch.

 

Will do boss! And BUMP!

I know someone has to be proud about there cheap mod!?

 

check the spring height thread, the cars will look no different than a car with cut springs to that same height.

 

Pretty much. Cut spring heights depend on whatever length someone decides to cut off.. so potentially this thread should contain pics of cars with completely random ride heights.

 

i did this mod.. and then i need it to go lower so i did the hose mod .. now my car looks so much better .

 

Here is mine. I cut a full coil off the rear springs and did the hose mod. I have QA1s up front tho.

 

^ love your wheels, are those 17's

 

There is some good stuff in the search in case you havent tried already or unless your looking for just more. Some guy had a black WS6 that looked really good cut.

 

I might be giving it a try here soon too. I to would like see some pics.

 

Here's a few quick pictures I took of my car, 1 coil cut all around with no rear isolators... excuse the poor quality.

 

cut 1/3 coil off front Eibach pro......the rear are BMR

 

Anyone else? Trying to figure out how many coils to cut

 

i wouldn't cut springs, i am sure the ride would be horrible.

 

 

^^^ holy cut spring batman.........how many bumpstops do you wear out in a yr?

 

Just cut one coil, can't go wrong.

Lowering springs are stiff and make for a hard ride. Cutting springs doesn't increase the spring rate dramatically. My car with cut springs and Bilsteins rides great. It's a good compromise for comfort, handling, stance, and budget.

 

So is one coil about a inch of lowering, I have been thinking of cutting 1/2 to 1 coil off of my SS springs with koni or bilstein shocks.

 

Should be about an inch. My car has 1 coil cut all the way around.
