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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
