Just bought some progress springs thinking going cheaper was better because i was going to end up cutting them anyways but when i got them i noticed the coils went from large to small at both ends. Is there anyway to do this still??

 

Get into time machine and go to the year 2013, and buy coil overs. I thought people stopped cutting springs back in 2001?

 

Cutting springs is about the worst/stupidest/least safe thing you can do to your suspension. For the love of your own safety at least, DON'T DO IT!!!

 

Well its safer then heating lol BUT DNT DO IT

i can get you coilovers if your interested for a good price new...

 

springs are so cheap nowadays, just go buy a set

 

As previously stated, PLEASE DON'T CUT YOUR SPRINGS!

Especially with the ones you have, they are a progressive spring rate and attempting to run them cut would be disastrous!!!

 

The rears on two sets of springs I've had were cut one coil in the back and are fine. Both cars still work and drive and haven't self imploded.

 

What you said:


What I heard:
Well I loaded a single bullet into a six shooter and have fired several times and it hasn't shot that bullet out yet so I'm good.

*facepalm*

The car won't implode but you've put yourself and people on the road in danger of a potentially higher chance of a suspension component failure. I really don't care if you screw up a car, but potentially putting others at risk for being stupidly cheap is unforgivable.

 

Dam and i though my writing was hard to read



and a sig like this

98 Integra - H22 Monster
93 EX Coupe - 238k Daily
07 WRX - 13.500 @ 100 turboback
10 Mazdaspeed3
08 Fit - Saving the Planet


i think u would know better

 

Oh c'mon, it isn't that serious.

Not saying its the best method, but it can be done. OP could easily sell the ones he has on this forum and buy something lower.

OMG YOUR ON STOCK STRUTS TOO!? OMG OMG SUSPENSION GEOMETRY IS COMPROMISED

 

N+ .............

 

I wouldn't cut the fronts, but you could cut the rear:

I've bought both sets of Bthasht's springs.

 

If you cut, secure the spring to the perch with metal ties so it doesn't bounce out the seat when not captive. That's the major risk when running cut springs.

I've run some pretty cutty suspension setups in the past. Having said that, I wouldn't do it again.

If you're going to cut you might as well just cut your stock springs and sell the Progress, the whole point of lowering springs like them is to stay safe, spring captive while still lowering the car, it's not like you're getting a big bump in spring rate and you're running stock shocks anyway.

 

cutting springs is a great idea!

 

that looks like just spring parts, not springs

 

Actucally, heating the springs IS safer than cutting. But I will never attempt either, just save some $ & get the real deal.
