To me cutting springs seems really ghetto. Its not worth it imo to take a chance of messing up the car. Just buy a good set of lower drop springs and put them in.

sorry to highjack your thread but your beta swap link in your signature doesn't work.

 

Do not cut your springs.

 

Cut one coil off your stock springs and you will be fine. Cut two off a stock spring and you're looking at the potential hazard of the spring coming off the perch at full suspension droop. Trust me: with one coil off, there is PLENTY of force holding the spring on the perch still. Yes it changes the rate. That's fine if you don't mind a little more stiffness. I didn't notice the difference in spring rate myself, and I notice *tiny* changes in my car. YMMV and a progressive aftermarket spring might be a different story.

A bolt-on-leave-on spring compressor is as ghetto as cutting a coil off, and just as much an accident waiting to happen as a cut spring. See how much fun it is when the compressor fails at the worst possible moment (turning at speed near a wall)

 

sand bags. a few of them.



lol, joke. I would say save up and get a set of Ksports
