either way, cut or aftermarket spings, both lower your car. the springs wouldnt cause your axles to bind unless you dropped your car like 5" and went rally racing

Re: Cuttin' springs
From experince i tell you this story.
i bought a 88 civic hatch.
it had cut springs and it drove like STINKING PILE OF ----!!! BANG BANG SCRAP!@!!!!
those tow eyes underneith the car will the more like C or U shape becuase of that.
Next the front portion of the body was slightly bent upward from impact damage
I replaced the struts and springs with SPAX kit... too little to late i could not fix the damage that was done.
i took it to body shop to fix the broken spot welds thats $$$ and time.
Don't ever cut springs its stupid.
1. it changes the load rate of the springs to less .... then original. which is bad.. BOUNCY..uncontrolable car.
2. if you want to go lower you need more load rate to height change about 10% per inch( gross estimation i can't remember that facts)
3. it makes the car unstable you can wreck and kill your self or someone else.
there is a kid i know that drives a Daewoo.
cut springs very very low
understeered into a concrete wall no more daewoo.
Sure $50 bucks equates to $4000 of damage. ( loss of the car or life)
you do the math
your safty
your life
someone else life (and upset brother with a GUN!!)
becuase people who cut springs don't need to drive.. there hazard and i wouldn't hesatate to slash your tires.... get my point.
too many times i have see my friends and famly members get injured becuase some dick head Ricer ---- too fucken ghetto and wrecked thier ---- into someone becuase they couldn't control there car...
ITS NOT ABOUT LOOKS ITS ABOUT PERFORMANCE...
if you want looks get big rims and stay slow
you share the road with every one else.
ok im over it..... cut springs are gay.. period.
