I wouldn't....
I think your ride is going to suck and be noisy for every bump.

I wouldn't do this - premature wear on your struts as well.

Maximam :- Not Kidding

Blazin 2k :- My Supra Is on much stiffer springs, so I'm used to the stiff ride. Besides, this is the only thing I can think of besides cutting my H&R or getting Coilovers.

If your going that route, just cut a coil off the H&R!! Imagine what's going to happen when you hit a pothole and one of those things break.

Why don't you just get another set of springs. The H&Rs are known to drop the least. Try Tein or Eibach or Maxspeed or ...

the way I look at it, if that thing breaks, I'll be back to my normal Height, its not like the spring's gonna fall off

I'm now looking into that too. I Hear there was a group deal on Springs a few weeks ago. 2 years with H&Rs I'm kinda used to them, but Now thinking about a few changes, adding Spacers in the rear

So it's basically like a mini spring compressor and having two dead coils. Let us know how you made out.

Unless the thing breaks and falls into the back of the wheel and bangs around on the rotor and brake caliper for a bit, ripping one of the brake lines right before piercing the tire.

Even I wouldn't try using those things. That's completely unsafe and completely nuts. Get some Maxspeeds for $100.

You buy a car for approx 24,000 bucks. Then you use a fifty cent clamp to compress or collapse a coil on your springs.

Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto

Wait till you hear how much noise they make as the coils above and below it crash into it.


They are for show only, not to be driven on.
