I had cut springs in my BMW i used to have, now that thing was slow and just a cruiser, I wouldn't cut them in a new school car tho! just go to a spring company and get them reset at least. Here in adelaide we have a place called Industrial Springs and they do them pretty cheap!

:) *cough* :) As a "performance enthusiast" most members here would recommend against it... Surely King Super Low Springs aren't that expensive anymore????

Infinitely more expensive than cutting your own springs, which comes to $0!!! :P With the low centre of gravity the car would handle fully sick! :lol:

Seriously, though, what the hell? :huh: You're not actually considering doing it are you? :)

Why use springs? Hell why bother with even the shocks!

Take the both out. Take the springs down to you local scrap metal yard, and ask them for 4 lengths of steal rod. The you use them instead of your spring and shock combo. You save money, as you never need to replace either item again. Dont have to worry about bump steer ever again, drifting will be like childs play. Hell with that set up you could even take out your sway bars and get some quick cash for them too! Its just a win win situation!

haha i new this would rattle a few cages! im just seeing if any 1 has dun it! in my sprinter i dont even have springs! it just sits on the bump stops! and no i dont want a vn keep your fully sick comments 2 your self!

although i was thinking about heating the springs and compressing them at my factory.

my mate in his cressida choped his, we rolled a tenis ball under it and it got stuck!

so has any 1 dun it?

chopping springs is for... idiots.

1. comfort and handling are shite

2. spring may (or may not) fall out over bumps

3. your shock will be totally stuffed in a month or twos time

4. say goodbye to insurance, 3rd party or full comp. chopping spring is illegal and insurance companie will get out of anything for any reason.

King spring are only about $240 for 4 springs.

I lowered my VS properly. Shock spring and panhard bar. $1200 all up, i prefer to do thing properly the first time.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
