DIY on cuting springs?

[Elbow]

Only morons believe cutting springs is bad. Half the idiots with shitty riding cars from cut springs cut WAY too much off and didn't do it even, they probably also have crappy rest of the suspension.

If you're going to do it, to do it right it will take a few hours at the least. One by one, very close measuring, test fitting, lowering the car back down, etc. I've had three cars on cut springs and they all rode close to stock, sorry but if I decided to buy aftermarket suspension to make it STIFFER than it couldn't of been that bumpy.

Also make sure you cut to where the spring will set right again, if you need to heat it at the tip to make it seat, do that. It also never hurts to have another set of springs in case you fuck up. IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO NOT CUT ENOUGH THAN TO CUT TOO MUCH. Take your time.

Cutting springs has a bad rep because it's cheap and lets face it a lot of broke ricers do it. I personally would much rather have eBay coilovers on a Civic or something, much stiffer. However those who bash cut springs fail to realize how many people have done it and experimented with it in the big world. Tons of race teams have messed with it to try t et different spring rates. Even a book, maybe "Chassis Engineering" recommends cutting springs for a low app street car.
