window tinting, coil cuttings.

[zumolives]

taking out the air conditioner? anyone had any problems? I know the belts going to have to be changed and yes i know it will be hot but i never use it anyway so might as well get rid of the extra wieght keep in mind its a s10.

You ruin the point of having springs at all, just spend a little money and buy lowering springs that were designed to still provide a lower stance while retaining the function of the spring. They are designed to gradually get stiffer as the spring gets compressed, you are cutting off a vital job of the spring by removing a coil, thus hurting your handling and your butt at the same time. I know it's cheap, but don't be that guy.
I don't know about tint though dude, I'm actually thinking about some myself before the summer comes.

im thinking about cutting the coils? anyone liked it when they did it? or bad idea?

Spend the money on real suspension don't cut the coils.

I need my windows tinted? if anyone does this and does a good job let me know.How is "I need my windows tinted" a question? How about check the sponsors forums, there's even a tint company down there. They do it and they do a good job.


im thinking about cutting the coils? anyone liked it when they did it? or bad idea?Wait until spring. Drag out a lawnmower, cut a few yards, order some lowering springs.

LOL Ask yourself ? #1.

If you have to second guess yourself about whether or not cutting sprigns is a good/bad idea you probably shouldn't do it. Maybe you should try to save up a little money and do it right.:doh:Contribute to the economy/import co's.:goodjob:

[slimm]

we do window tint at my shop. cutting coils: BAD IDEA!!!

[Okie_doke.]

Yeah cut coils is such a bad idea. I knew people who use to do it and it rides like shit and you can tell when someone has cut the springs in how it bounces down the road. You feel every little pebble you hit

egay coilover>cutting coils

If the springs on your car have a linear spring rate it can be ok, such as on cobra's. I doubt you have them though. Don't cut them if you don't.

Don't cut them if you don't.Exactly, they can be cut but if they're progressive it changes the spring rate. Then anyone that's cutting springs most likely is not spending the money on a better dampener that matches the stiffer spring rate...that's when the ride gets bouncy. :doh:

it was opening conversation to people who did do window tinting times are hard and some people have traits that i could use. thank you.

Ha. Ive got a real job. [QUOTE=speedminded]Wait until spring. Drag out a lawnmower, cut a few yards, order some lowering springs.

I cut springs on a few cars and never had a problem, but it was done right, some race teams even play with cut springs to get different rates and experiment.

Cutting springs sucks. I always heat mine. Makes for much better ride quality and a lot less work.

AND I DO KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT ON THIS SUBJECT!!!!

Later, QD.

[cactusEG]

Bad idea. You get what u pay for...

[Elbow]

Cutting > heating BY FAR.

Cutting > heating BY FAR.

I think we've had that debate before and I totally disagree with you. Later, QD.

$133 for the complete job. (http://www.stylintrucks.com/part.aspx?partid=482362&x=94252&scid=FROOGLE)

I recommend that. I wouldn't heat/cut unless it was a last resort. Well, I would, but if you can do it the right way, do it. Later, QD.

[zumolives]

i had a 5/6 in mind.
