NEW Springs

[Kongo-Otto]

What happens if you lift the car with a service lifter? Will the springs fall out of their seats? I guess they will atleast at the front and thats one reason why cutting springs isn't very recommandable. With that amount of lowering and stock shocks you will ride on your bumpstops all the time, another reason.

Yes they do fall out of the seats. You just have to be there when they bring car down to make sure they go back in correctly. As far as bumpstops, i of course cut them in half. This not my first rodeo in slammin vehicles. Bottom line is i dont mind some of the inconviences that come along with being LOW and looking good. Thanks for your opion though!!

Ok, I dont want to get in another pissing match. BUT jekqmb is right about handling, and I am only touching on the handling point on this.

Im quoting this because if you actually track a car or even autox a car that have cut springs, you will taking turns at full braking and quite possible tripod (3 wheel on the road, 1 rear wheel in the air).
So if you have to be careful about bringing a car off a jack or a lift and make sure that the spring seats inside the strut mount, you should be worried about taking those sharp turns on the on ramp with uneven roads and pot holes. You cannot tell me that cut springs are just as good as lowering springs and/or coilovers when it comes to handling.

Like I said before, to each thier own.
Cut springs are for showing off on a budget. Be careful driving out there and keep us posted if something should happen. I am curioius of the life of your shocks if you are still running stock ones. Your car looks good, I do like it. Kudos on your mods
