alecvincent123 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Alot of people will disagree, but i have chopped nearly every set of coilovers ive ever had. aslong as you dont go stupid with them, and try to cut the deadcoils if possible ( these are the ones closer together, and they are designed to touch together when the car no jacked up) Its certainly no worse than running with no adjusters.

HalfOfZero Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I remember I had my rears wound all the way down (Adjusters left in). Looks awesome.Didn't feel too awesome though when you had one or two friends in the back and you went over a slight bump/pothole/small child at a moderate speed..I've since raised the back a little, but I desperately want to lower it again lol. It's such a trade off.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JampotJamie Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 im putting some corsa b 100mm lowering springs in mine this weekend.ive seen a couple of people say theyve done this, so does the spring fit straight on like a normal coilie spring would?? and are they lower than FK's then?

Little Green Giant Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 they are pig coiled so would be more dangerous than chopping springs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 What LGG said, the spring wont seat properly and will be prone to moving around and even falling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatty Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Anyone tried Corsa B Coilovers on the back? The spring over shock ones as a pose to the seperate Shcok and Spring ones?My only concern with doing it would be whether or no the shock top mount is strong enough to take the spring action as well as the dampening action.
