[MSP4EVER]

[schutzracing]

do not cut the springs.. it will never ride the same agian.. sell them and get a set of coilovers so u can adjust them..

 

[AutoFanatik]

cutting springs is almost always bad

 

[hooked_on4]

just torch em hehe,

no modifying them is a baaaad idea, sell and rebuy

 

[EgHatch93]

Sell em or keep em... Take your stock springs and cut em.

i know of a guy that cut his teins on his xb, it rides real nice.....

 

[Suanico]

just sell them or trade them plus cash for coilovers of some type

That drop looks good. If you want to be dumped get coilovers. Cutting springs=bad and ghettooooooooo.

if you're gonna cut your teins....why not just cut your stocks instead? the outcome will be the same...

oh...and sell me your teins. hahaha.

wrong!

stocks werent made to be dropped or cut THUS making them to soft and bouncy as heck

tein wernt made to be cut either but were made to be dropped THUS making the spring stronger.. so the ride wont really change.. maybe a bit


trust me man i went thru this myself i did this already my ride didnt change when i cut them..
