Get some quality springs, they aren't that expensive. If you cannot afford to buy good springs then you shouldn't be considering spending money on springs just to lower the car, but spend it on something more important that doesn't put you and others on the road with you at risk. |

Not safe in > most cases. I have to disagree with you there. This was common practice in the old days when there was nobody producing "lowering" springs that retained the original rate. Nobody had problems unless they cut way too much off. I had two cars with cut springs and no probs. The "lowrider" method of heating springs with a torch was dangerous because that took the temper out of the metal. Combined with heavily offset skinny wheels, you were asking for *something* to go wrong. But I didn't run in that crowd. > > Get some quality springs, they aren't that expensive.

Again, it's the *amount* you take off that dictates negative ride aspects. We see the ****boxes bounce down the street because they have whacked off so much coil that they are effectively riding on the bump stops. Also, the lighter the car and the shorter the wheelbase, the more bounce. > > You didnt' say what car. > > good luck > > > Remove NO-SPAM from email address when replying -- CobraJet Thunder Snake #1 |

Thanks for the reply, i had 10 or so with about 1 or 2 that were actually literate, and helpfull... Ill look into the Mach-1... I had H&R springs on my previoous stang, but i didnt like the set cause it didnt lower it enough, and the price was fairly high as well... Im looking into DROPZONE springs too, have you ever heard of them? tom |

I had two cars with cut springs and no probs. Unless they cut too much off... think about that for a moment. Why is there a too much? The spring is being compromised. I wouldn't trust the springs on modern cars to have as much margin as those in the 'old days'. > The "lowrider" method of heating springs with a torch was dangerous > because that took the temper out of the metal.

There's also the clamps from JC witney... |
