Why not? From a racing standpoint, you wouldn't want to do it(although my neon springs were heated when I raced). For cruising and lowriding, there's nothing wrong with it. My proof is in the 20 years I've done this. I have not once bought a set of lowering springs. Until the car I have now. Even my CVCC in my sig is heated springs. I wouldn't cut springs because it leaves a much rougher ride than heated. In my 78, you can't even tell it's lowered. It's lowered 3". Back in the day, in lowriding, the object was low as you can. They didn't really have lowering springs for every car like they do now. Heating/cutting has been going on since before your parents were even born. My daily driver is the only car I bought springs for. In closing, heating springs isn't the best way, it isn't the right way, but I will vouch for it. I've never, ever had one suspension(or any other problem) related problem due to this method of lowering. Plus you can go as low as you want for only $10. Seriously. That's all it cost.

well thats back then and we are in the present, stock spring arnt mad for any of that and sooner or later somthing will go wrong. thats why thet make parts made for those modsOriginally Posted by quickdodgeŽ
Maybe so/maybe not. I think after 8 years of drving, 2 years of racing and 150,000 miles on my neon with not one problem will tell a different story. I'm not telling anyone what to do. You do you. I know what I'm talking about. After all this time, you should know that. I know you know(PMs). Later, QD.Originally Posted by cactusEG
did u have those spring done that way through all those miles?Originally Posted by quickdodgeŽ
They make parts TO MAKE MONEY and because not everyone is intelligent enough to fabricate they're own things...Originally Posted by cactusEG
There's not a person in the world that can't learn how to change oil so why do you think there is a quick lube/oil change place at every corner? People would rather spend the money than the time...then for some their time is much more valuable than the money saved.
