Cutting Sprints?

Hey guys,
i just ordered my sprint lowering springs. I was wondering how many coils will i need to cut off the back to make it ride even?

Thanks

Make the ride even?

It will be even....cutting the springs will make it LOWER and un-even like mine. Check my homepage

umm yeah!


anyways... if you cut them correctly your car will sit even. I cut off 1.5 coils off the rear and she sits perfect. Make sure when you cut them you trace down where the top of the first coil ends to the one below to make that "one coil" then just go 1/2 down from that mark and thats your actual cutting point.

My car on sprints with rear cut 1.5 coils:



and



so judge for yourself BIJAN GXE and you tell me cuttin them down 1.5 coils wont drop it even sounds to me like you cut yours incorrectly!

1.5 coils looks quite good. If you plan on putting a big stereo in the trunk, you might wanna go with just one coil, cause a saggy *** never looks good.
