I know its not that easy with springs, and I have tried searching but people complain about it, and I haven't found a thread that helps me solve the problem, I have sprint springs, and I was wondering if anyone new how to even a drop without cutting, do they make clamps or something? My back sits about an inch higher then my front...

Get back to me
Thanks

Well it says in your sig that you are going to convert to 5-speed soon. That should even it out alot. To even it out even more you could get some subs. Good excuse to get yourself a nice system!

 

drive fat girls in the back seat

 

Did you just get the springs? Drive the car a little more and the springs should settle.
And put in a full tank of gas to add another 100 pounds to the rear.
And as the rear settles, the front end will raise up in proportion.
So really you only have to figure out a way to get the rear down a half inch.

 

I know the spacer can be put on the back to even the drop for lower rear. but the spacer for front? there are not many coils at the front and that'll kind of defeat the purpose of using processive spring?

 

how long should you wait for the springs to settle? b/c i have the same problem as Maxspeedse, and it's been about three weeks since they were installed. i also want to cut my springs as a "last" resort.

 

I have had my springs for about a year now, and there pretty much settled, yes i herd when i convert to a 5 speed it will rase my front up...and it should be even with the back witch is good news...the thing is, i like the way my front looks...i don't want that to go higher, just the back lower, maybe my best is to go with coil overs?

weird... I have H&R and KYB AGX and my front is higher than my back.

 

I have drop zone springs and my front is higher, But i just put them; on about 3 weeks ago and the front had droped alot in the three weeks. there almost even now.

 

I have Sprints, cut one coil off the back and my drop is flawless. Why are you so against cutting your Sprints?
All these suggestions for more weight, subs, gas, etc. are only going to make you slower and empty your wallet. Cut a coil off the rears and you'll love it. It's easy...

 

Alot of people say that messes up peformance, and they make alot of noise if you do

 

I have had my sprints on for about 2.5 months, and the rear is still noticeable higher. I was also wondering if cut springs hurts performance?

 

I've had my sprints on for about 3 months now, and you can def tell the front sits lower than the back and i have a 5 speed. At 1st it wasn't so noticable but it just seems the front keeps settling and the rear isn't lol, i really don't mind it, kinda gives the car a more agressive stance and i really don't have to worry bout bottoming out the back if i ever put 3 large adults in the back. But i would say it might look a lil better if the car was totally even, right now its about a 2 finger gap in the front and 4 finger gap i the rear

 

You not going to listen to everything people say are you? I had two coils cut from the rear Sprints and I still haven't had a problem with them. I do have Koni struts though. If you do cut, I suggest you cut one coil only though.

The only way that I know of to have an even drop is to get coilovers or cut your springs. If you don't want to/don't like to cut your springs, then you got to live with the uneveness.

 

alot of people have opinions alot of people dont cut their springs bcuz "IS NOT SAFE" is like this FCk what others say if you have to cut a rear coil to make your car look good and you be happy then do it!!!when you walk up to your car it is very satisfying to see what you like!!!


ONE more thing whomever flames me can kiss my azzzzznnn tired of fckers posting girlie B/S dont do this bcuz this and that, the man wants help he wants his ride to look right and tight doesnt want that retarded drop!!!lets help him out here!!! if you dont want to cut invest in coilovers!!!

 

I would agree w/ you guys and say there is no harm from one, or even two cut coils. However, I want the maximum performance out of my springs, and am wondering if cutting one coil decreases performance a little, or if it mite even increase it. I have no idea here, and am wondering what the answer is?

 

One coil from the rears will NOT effect performance (positive or negative). The rear coils have several "dead" coils which do not expand or compress when driving, they are ALWAYS compressed. Cutting one of these "dead" coils only lowers your ride height, thats it. Cut the coil from the top and enjoy your level ride, looks much better than the so-called aggressive stance of the back being higher.
Looks like a hot rod IMO...

 

Yeah i'm hoping this weekend to cut one of the coils off of my Sprints. i will post my opinions after the cut see how they act. Brian

 

so are the "dead" coils the ones that have the small gaps between them?

 

So when you cut one of the "dead" coils in the back to even the drop, do you cut the top ones (more stiffer ones) or the bottom ones?
