Hey guys,
i was going to order sprint lowering springs but i hear that the rears need to be cut to make it sit even. How hard is this to do? What do i need to do it? Anyone have a write up or pics? I dont really have alot of tools.

Thanks guys

A hacksaw is all you will really need. People sometimes cut one coil off each of the rear springs to make the car sit evenly. If you have a big stereo in the trunk it might not even be needed.

 

I dont have a big stereo. So just a hack saw? How would i cut it? Is there any certain way i need to cut them?

 

Dremel...

First I used an all mighty shawz all with my buddy....it shook the srping way to much and didnt cut anything...then I secured it on a bench and took a Dremel with a cutting bit on it...worked perfectly

Angle grinder works best...

Seems that you don't have too much mechanical expierience... Make sure you know what you are doing..

 

don't cut springs cause other susupension issuse (just from what Ive heard)?

 

They're talking about cutting off a dead coil which has no adverse effects.

 

Make sure you cut whole coils, or else the top part of the spring won't be aligned with the spring seat.

 

No its not that i dont have mechanical experience, but its that i dont have many tools. I just havent worked with springs before and im not sure what i need to cut off. Does anyone have pictures of the springs so i can see what i will need to cut off?

Thanks

Why not just buy Tien S-techs? They are just as low as sprints without the high rear.

 

Everyone i talk to says that the s techs arnt as low as the sprints.

 

Sorry Drew, but I have to disagree. My friend has s techs with agx's, and the front sits lower in the front compared to sprints. But the rear is a different story, the stechs sit higher than un cut sprints. Now that i have cut 1.5 coils out of my rear sprints, the car sits even and lower than my friends.

 

What did you use to cut your springs. Do you have a pic of the coils of what to cut off?
