cutting springs
#12
No, no, no! You can't do that! Your wife/fiance/girlfriend will leave you, your pizza delivery will be late and cold, your hair will fall out, you'll grow massive quantities of hair on your tongue, you'll come down with diabetes, your bank will go under, your car will explode into a ball of flames that will make Nagasaki look like a weenie roast, the sky is falling and the world will come to an end in 2012!!! Someone on the Internet told me!
What I'm saying is, you'll get a lot of posts here fear mongering you that all sorts of horrible things will befall you and your car, even though they have absolutely zero documentation to back this fear mongering up. So, be prepared. lol
In another thread here, I posted extensive, documented information regarding this very question you asked, from a highly trained and respected suspension engineer who has written books on the topic and runs his own high performance suspension company. He doesn't sell lowering springs, he merely cuts the O.E. springs, as he clearly states you'll get superior results. He has no vested interest in trying to sell you coil springs, (as they lowering spring companies do), so his professional recommendations are very credible. I myself have been in the automotive repair/maintenance industry for 25 years and have raced in S.C.C.A. racing using cut coil springs, per the recommendations of the aforementioned suspension engineer, Herb Adams. Below is the post. I hope the information provided helps you to separate the fear mongering from the facts. Enjoy -
