yup 50mm at the time before i was into proper low and stance, was worried about blowing stock struts...

now saving up for coilovers to do it properly ( R400 for springs vs R9000 for proper coilovers )

yeah lame drop i know lol

was merely answering the guys post about compressed springs

Cut springs will make you car handle like a boat.
Because they don`t have the strenght enough to hold the weight.

Would you get a better result out of cutting lowering springs over stock springs? My car came with H&R springs and people were telling me to just cut them since I wouldn't be out any money.

Anyone got an idea on this??

find a set of stock springs, cut them for the amount of oil pan you dont mind losing, and see how you like it, and then go from there with the lowering springs

i like cut springs. if you cut one or two coils, it will raise the spring rate ever so slightly. when you cut 3.5 like me, they get kind of floaty. but its not a race car, so who cares? they seat perfectly and work like they should, so yea!

^^^^ hahahah this is too good, ox btw what suspension are you on?

My E28 is running 2 coils cut in the front and all it did was stiffen it up with around 2-3 inches lower. I plan on cutting the backs soon because it worked alot better than I thought it would. It's time to save for coilovers though. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
