Cutting the springs

[joser714]

So I'm getting some 18s off a friend and I want to lower my car just so I won't have a 4X4 look. I've read that it will ride like crap cause the stock shocks and struts will give out. I have already changed my socks and struts so am I in the clear and also what coil do I cut.

P.s. I did do a search before posting but it got derailed do couldn't get much info

There are great write ups in svtP on this.

Cut the dead coil off the top.

Always remember it's best to cut less and the car be too high, then cut too much and you're stuck with shitty ride quality and an ugly stance.

I have like 1 coil cut but then again they are 96 v6 springs. Im prolly gonna go h&r ss no iso's for better ride quality.

Removing the spring isolator will increase NVH, and metal on metal contact, may produce unwanted noises. Getting a quality spring like H&R Super Sport and new isolators your car's stance will be fine.

I'll check it out and see how it goes. In all honesty my ride quality sucks. I already feel every bump.
