cheers guys!!!
well done on wasting about 5 minutes of your life
i have been in MANY commodores with cut springs that yes do ride a bit rough but are absolutely fine
this is a temporary thing for a few months...can't be riding around on 18's with the car jacked up a foot...so going to take the risk
very professional mechanic (argue this all you want) doing the job on saturday....can't wait! :D

hey
not looking for any arguments here at all about cutting springs so please don't start them
getting vy ss 18's on the vp calais today and out of funds so going with the cut spring option
just wondering how much i should be expecting to pay at a mechanic for the job to be done....would imagine it'd be pretty cheap as it'd only be a 1/2 hour job if that?
but yer if anyone can give me a general idea on prices thatd be much appreciated
live in adelaide, glenelg area as well if anyone has any place to recommend locally
cheers

No I wont bother arguing, because the next sentence describes you quite accurately. You are a **** smoker. And as we all know there is no point arguing with **** smokers. You come in here asking for advice on how to do something illegal and get all upset when we tell you what any sensible person would tell you. So in closing, **** you retard.

my 3 year old brother was diagnosed with down-syndrome two years ago...thankyou for deeply offending me....********, all I wanted was a simple answer...i realise i'm doing something a bit stupid but that is MY choice, not yours.
I appreciate your concern but just so you know the mechanic doing the job specialises in ferraris, porsches etc...mates dads mechanic...he has cut many-a-spring before

so to pandaman...please go read the rules of this forum and maybe think before you speak mate, thats straight out of line and pathetic coming from an adult

cheers

hmm, a guy that specialises in ferraris cuts springs, lol, i wouldnt trust my $150,000 car with him.

if you had of done a quick search on cutting springs, you would have seen that not many people on this forum agree with it and that you'd get too many opposing replies to bother starting this thread.

if you want to know how much it will cost, ring your mates dads mechanic and ask, or ring a few other mechanics and ask them aswell.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but every one of the threads on this topic to date has turned into a **** fight. This one is the same and it is now closed. If the OP has a problem with this, please contact me.
