cutting a coil in springs

[silverline1]

lol might try this, just to see if it work! lol then ill use an old ironing boarrd as a spoiler and a hair dryer as a turbo!

thing is right, you chop a spring, that coil then wont fit in the strut cup properly

go over a hill, speedbump or pot hole too quickly and it can happen - the spring gets released from the strut housing, collapsing the car.

In all honesty you are probably better off doing it properly with spme properly matched springs/dampers or coilovers. They are cheap enough, and you'd probably be able to sell them on if you sold the car and wanted to put it back to standard (recouping some of your cash).

I have a how to that I got from another site which has got me through the job twice if you need it
