bobbo Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Other than chopping them there is no other way, never chopped springs myself before but know it can be very easily done wrong. If you do want to do it get someone else who knows what theyre doing to do it and bare in mind that any lower than 40/50mm on your standard shocks will fck them in no time.

forsh21 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 mate just go out and buy a lowering kit, for the price its gonna cost id rather do that its not worth messing around cropping the springs, iv done it before and the car was all over the road and boucing around not a nice feeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
