Chopping springs..

[DubSteve]

When I was 17 I had a Pulsar don't ask... Anyway it had cut coils I took them out and put in King Springs, even though it was lower the new Kings felt 1000 times better even though they are known to be hard!

Now I'm 21 and it has never occured to me to ever cut springs, I think its wrong and terrible!

lol all threads about this type of stuff are always like:

its fine

no its not

its fine

no its not

you're an idiot

you're a moron

and so on and so forth

BUT just for the record... its stupid because proper lowered springs are cheap anyway

While I'm all for doing it right... free < cheap when it comes to $$'s

problem is they never go low enough! Then its coilovers or bags = $$ that some peeps dont wanna part with . . .

thought i would clarify a few comments on here....

chopping a standard spring does NOT make it stiffer as you are not changing the number of coils in the shorter distance.it only changes the ride height of the car.

"resetting" a spring changes ride height and stiffness as you have the same number of coils in a shorter distance.

personally it would not happen in my cars as i think its dangerous. but that's my opinion.

Duh... of course they don't make any difference lol... Its just to be loowwaaahhh, theres nothing to do with performance or common sense here, just how low you can go without paying too much...
