Lowering, just a BIT more.

[Milky2106]

Heyy guys,

just quickly- i own a VR sedan, live axle, and had SuperLow Kings Springs professionally installed all round.. heavy duty in the rear..

one problem, this was all installed around 9 months ago.. and the suspension has not sagged as much as i had thought in the back, AND IT STILL SITS A BIT HIGH..

i was just wondering, whether cutting half a coil off (or less) or getting the spring re-compressed might take it down to the desirable height..

and yes, i know both of these options aren't the safest etc etc.. thats why this is a question.. i was just wondering whether because they are heavy duty springs, they could handle the cutting or compressing..??

thanks guys,
any help or words of wisdom appreciated..

i wouldnt cut none of a spring mate

compress maybe but not cut

[Milky2106]

thanks for quick reply..

is it that bad?
i mean i've seen and heard of idiots cutting like, 4 inches out of their ride hide etc.. but yeah.. if even a little cut makes that much difference i wont do it..

[dynoryder]

if you dont want to buy new springs then maby puting an oxy torch to them might dorp them

[dynoryder]

have to heat at ride hight

[dynoryder]

just do the top cuz heat ****s springs too

[Nackerz]

yeah it is that bad mate i wouldnt bother cutting them unless u using it as a paddock bomb and not going to hurt anyone except urself!!!

yeah i would just buy some lower ones and through in

[in the weeds wagon]

both cutting and heating are illegal dude.
do a hub to guard messurement and order a new set.

[dynoryder]

go to your local pedders they can set it to what you want legally

How would pedders do it? What would be the process they'd use?

[Milky2106]

Thanks too for all the replies guys
I was hoping not to have to spend any money. But looking like I'm gonna
have too.
Wat would happen but if I did cut a bit of the coil off? Dangerous? Uncomfortable? Etc.

dangerous did you hear about that guy in melbs it was in one of the threads

went over a speed hump real quick and stuffed half the rear end of the car and his spring went flyin or something like that

[DrZ]

Yeah man, cutting is NOT GOOD.

Firstly if the cops pull you over cause they see you riding to low or anything, they have the right to jack up your car on the side of the road, an if its cut. Then you will need it to be towed and lotsa $$$ for the fine. Thats if you dont destroy ur rear end like the guy in melbourne..

moral of the story.

it will likely cost less, overall if you get it down legally rather than cutting or torching.

Please refer to this thread.

vs cut spings-lowered

mate, this is what makes it so dangerous. Have a look at the top of your spring, where it's wound, and you'll notice that it sits flat, or even. Cut even just the smallest amount off the spring, and it will no longer be level, You will be left with a tip, or a point. So once it's fitted, the spring is really being held in the by the tip, rather than being seated...

Sigh.

Cut your springs you deserve to be kicked in the dick.

Pretty much everything dynoryder has said is complete rubbish.

Go buy ultra lows. It will drop it another inch or two.

Just fixed up the wording for you.

But seriously, if you want lower than ultra low... get bags or get your current springs reset... at least its less dangerous.

NO spring can handle being cut... it's designed to work with the amount of coils it has, remove a coil and it will not work as it should. Compressing is a bit less dangerous since the overall integrity of the coils is maintained. A HD springs just means its stiffer than a standard spring.

I would sell your superlow and but some ultra low or if your lucky someone might do a swap
