[vnwpn2]

hey guys

every1 says not to chop your springs coz its dangerous blah blah blah

i was thinki9ng how bout i do this just get ultra lows allround?

i am not exactly mr money man either lol

[gslrallysport]

So are you saying you want to chop the springs or not???

[TVR-190]

i dont even think he knows what hes saying tbh

Youll be less of a money man when you get defected for chopped springs though.


and yes, if you get lower springs you need lower shocks also

I think if you're going to do anything, do it properly or not at all. And keep the car legal while you do it.

If you are getting lowered springs of any nature, then get new shocks to suit. And dont just do one end, do them both. If you can't afford it right away then at least you have time to pick the best springs and shocks for you while you save.

Also when you lower your car you will need an adjustable pan hard rod or your diff will be sitting off-center. You might even find it worthwhile to save a bit extra for an anti-roll bar or new bushes, etc.

Moral of the story - save up and do it all properly. You'll enjoy the car much more when you do.

so if i just put ultra low springs in with stock shocks will anything happen bad?

[D3V14NT]

If you're so insistent on ignoring advice why ask for it in the first place?

Your stock shocks will prematurely wear out. Oh... and your back springs won't be trapped, have fun when they fall out.

Now, listen carefully: If you can't afford to do it properly, don't do it at all.

i have just neva herd of springs falling out so i dnt no who to beleive argh

Put it this way. By lowering the ride height of the car you are forcing the shock absorbers to perform outside of their designed operating conditions.

It doesn't matter if you are talking about shocks, engines, chainsaws, hang gliders or just about anything else. If make an object operate outside of its designed operating conditions it will inevitably fail.

Remember you are talking about an object that is subjected to large amounts of force and is critical to the handling and safety of your car. Is it really a good idea to push it beyond it's limits? It's like saying " I can't afford low profiles tyres, should I just shave all the tread off my tyres so they look like it?".

Who has told you otherwise? Almost every other member that has posted in this thread has told you to get them.

well, there you go. because you've never heard of it happening, it must mean it's never happened before.

don't ask for advice if you're just going to throw it back in everyone's face. you've got 48 posts in under 2 weeks, has even one of them been a useful addition to this forum? not to mention your already banned account vnwpn1.

Don't do it. I have super lows in the rear with stock shocks. As funny as it is to see back passengers bouncing in the air over a bump does get annoying being so bouncy. As soon as I am back in town I will be replacing the shocks. Also there is almost no chance of springs being held captive as the wheels are still on the ground long after the springs have fallen out of their holder held in by stock shock.
