you are going to need new struts if you lower your car and you have the stock struts. the stock struts wont put up with the cut springs. they will blow out.

If you do it your life will be filled with ridicule and sadness from that point forward.

these are true. i have done it and now i am in the situation of getting new struts. i never asked before i did. i just did it.

i could kick myself in the ass.

"cutting a spring is like running in the Special Olympics, even if you win you are still retarded.....;)"

[Wishno87]

Rocker arms. That's all I'm gonna say.

Your sig makes me lul.

And no on cutting the springs.

[E30-ICEMAN-E30]

hahahahaha!!!!so i did it and i did it the cheap way!!!! basically i cut about a coil and a half out. then i made a cup that had a spiral in it so that the spring would still sit the same as before. And believe it or not but it actually worked and i love the way it rides!!! it is a little bit stiffer than before but that is what i wanted, it helps in taking corners. so i say hahaha to all the haters and doubters!!!! i will post pictures soon!!!

OK, maybe not. I just don't understand it.

No, don't cut your springs, this is not a Honda.


And, CorvallisBMW, your sig offends me and my religious beliefs by poking humor at REAL scriptural references.


OK, maybe not. I just don't understand it.

you are going to need new shocks if you lower your car and you have the stock shocks. the stock shocks wont put up with the cut springs. they will blow out.

Fixed. The struts don't have to be changed at all unless you're doing coilovers. It's the shocks that have to be paired with stiffer/lower springs.

hey thanks for the feed back. i was going to do it the cheap way but, i guess do it right do it once-(a smart man once said that).
