CoilOvers for track/autox.



I dont belive HP has anything to do with cutting your springs.

Congrats to you for your innovative solution for getting that drop look. Just drive safe, keep us updated as you go though. I am very curious how your car is handling a year or two from now. For those who have argued about the cut springs for so long. Good luck guys.

Coilovers are so good imo, even for showing off, getting super slammed and flush while still maintaining some ride quality, I'd always go coilover if I wanted to go super low. The flexibility of being able to adjust height and dampening is amazing. I just went for the middle route though, Springs and Shocks upgrade, aiming for performance but for cheaper. I think getting nice springs and shocks is better than getting a cheap coilover. I can see why cutting springs makes more sense for some people though. Please keep us updated since that is by far the cheapest way to go for a drop and sometimes that's all you need.

Equal results huh?? My car would leave yours sitting on an auto-x course or on a backroad. Cut springs are for people with no money, and yes if you would like me to post up pics of all my previous cars that ive drag raced i will, the list goes on and on. I bought this car to modify cause it was something i havent done yet, im a full time Mechanic/Store Manager running a full service Automotive shop where i live, dont tell me you think you know what your talking about, cutting springs on a car is just plain dumb and dangerous cause they dont seat properly on these perches, a few cut coils are ok if the spring is the same diam all the way through, but thats on most older vehicles, keep looking ghetto and getting laughed at, I mean we already get made fun of for driving yaris, i can only imagine what they say when you roll up ..
