So ive seen a few Fits lately dropped on "chopped" after market springs.
Meaning, basically they are cutting the springs to give the car a lower look.
Does anyone know the effect doing this has on the springs, or the car? Is it at all bad for the springs, or unsafe?
Thanks for any info.

of course its unsafe and no good for the oem shocks as well as driver's life

 

Don't cut springs man. It is horribly dangerous and pretty ghetto IMO.

Yeah, i had a strong feeling that is was NO GOOD for the springs or the shocks. Thats why i made this thread.

Worth it just to save for coils IMO.

 

Especially for progressive springs, you'll kill the spring rate. Doing it on stock suspension will also reduce the length of travel of your shocks.

 

Do Not Do This!!!! It Is Bad For Everything!!!

 

no, it gives you more horsepower, better gas mileage, and it looks so good

 

hahahahahhahaha ya i bet some people believed you on that one, ive known a lot of guys that believe everything people say and cut their springs and do stupid shit bec they dont have the money and want to do it the ghetto way, i just laugh at them
