    Didn't mean to offend anyone. It's a well known figure of speech. Maybe I should have said ghetto rigged or slack jawed yokel rigged instead. Either way, heating the springs causes the car to ride like shit. At least if you cut them it would have retained a decent ride quality. But from the outside, it def. looks good.

    from my experience a vehicle with heated springs rides a lot more comfortable than cut springs. especially on these big ass vehicles. now on the little Honda's id say if you're gonna go cheap then cut but you barely see a difference with heat on a big car.

    I've never had experience on a heavy car with heated springs, but my convertible mustang GT on cut springs still rode nicely. Obviously not the same for all cars, but just some input

    Hmm...didn't really think about that. My only experience with heated coils are with hondas. I've ridden in a few camaros and cobras with cut springs and they felt fine. Maybe I'm wrong. Now that you point that out, it does make sense that the extra weight may make the ride better than a lighter car.

    You removed them? Why would you want to create more, unnecessary work? I've NEVER removed the spring on any car I've heated up. No reason to.

    Entirely the opposite. Unless you consider a more bouncy ride better quality. Heating springs is the way to go if you want to retain a more smooth ride and still be lower. I would never recommend cutting springs. And almost 25 years experience in doing this is my back up. Lolol. Later, QD.
