I am getting ready to do a suspension mod. I am installing new shocks and cutting 1 coil all the way around.

What would be the approx. expected drop from this?

 

about an inch, maybe a little over if I'm not mistaken.

 

Cutting one entire coil will usually lower the car more than the distance you're removing, because of the static corner weight on the spring (installed). I would try a half a coil, and remember to use a cut-off wheel.

Also, make sure the ends of the springs will fit back into their perches when you're done. Post pics when you're done.

 

look in the "how-to" sticky, i wrote a very big article on it.

 

Yeah read Ryan's sticky. I think he said 3/4 coil equals about an inch. So maybe start with that.

 

Thanks for the heads up guys. I am going to do 3/4" and see how it sits. If i want lower i guess ill take the extra 1/4" out. I will post some before and after pics in a few when im done!

 

just took a look at my brakes and i need to get them changed; so i am going to hold off on this until next weekend.

I am going to get some drilled, slotted rotors and brake pads and do it all at once!

 

Yea i'm gonna do the same to my car. i'm tired of the cruddy 4x4 stance

 

Do either drilled OR slotted, only do both for pretty. I have both, cuz i like being pretty lol

 

Such a sig worthy quote.
