    Default Question on springs

    Hey just wondering if springs can legaly be compressed or shortened?. I recently put some 19's on my car and i think the rear could go lower but i think the next step down in springs could be to low..it's supposed to have ssl in the rear and im thinking ultras/sssl will be to much and give the invisible caravan impression.

    Yes, they can. They just can't be cut.

    Any suspension manufacturer can do it. The coils are baked in an oven then reset to the height you want.

    I wouldnt suggest it mate. I've had non compressed and compressed springs, compressed give a much crappier ride than standard springs. ultra lows arent incredibly low, i'd give them a shot

    get out a case of beer and the grinder an idea will present itself if you kill enough brain cells. locally oits called a Lithgow Lower Job. make sure you put a nick in the next coil down from the cut for a true lithgow replica job. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL ha ha ha ha ha
