No he didn't. He said for someone to trade him b&gs for his sportlines.

 

i've actually thought about riding around without springs. =/
and yes im a cheap ass, i dont have the best job, i have bills to pay, and i barely have $20 at the end of the week. itll take months to save up for coilovers.

 

Then you better start saving now. I don't mean to be an ass but if you cut your springs just for ride height you are taking an incredibly stupid risk of suspension parts failing if it's even a **** hair off. Do it the right way, or don't do it at all.

 

Not to mention if you just hack your springs you're most likely gonna blow through cv joints and won't be able to afford to repair your car.

By the sounds of your financial situation, modding your car is something you don't need to be doing. Just be great full you have something reliable that gets you to your job.

 

tennpenn, if what is a **** hair off?
and wouldnt i save the cv axle if i rotate the tranny mount?

 

Save your money and do it right or you're going to end up breaking something and its going to cost you even more in the long run.

 

chevygirl, im in the process. i think i can deal with the height for a while, just want to cut half a coil - 1 full coil off the sportlines to even out the negative rake. honestly, im more worried about performance parts rather than cosmetics. was just trying to see what my options were on the free/very cheap side.

 

Well cutting springs isn't a good idea but its your choice.

 

i was just talking about evening out the negative rake that the sportlines give.

 

It's just like it reads. It's a hair off. I simply used an expletive to try to make my point, which turns out was too X-rated for the forum.

If you do it the right way, you'd buy rotated mounts from John Powell, and buy new springs instead of cutting yours.

 

i mean, i got the reference. were you saying if the springs are different?

 

If the springs were different than what? Stock?

I don't believe any springs should be cut just to get a "stanced" look. Aftermarket or stock.

I was saying that if the springs are cut then it could lead to further suspension problems down the road (pun intended) as the other suspension components are compensating for the spring.

If you're going for a look, save some money and buy the right springs. If the look you want isn't available short of coilovers, then save some more and buy coilovers.

 

so it seems the ksports give the lowest drop.
plus with the addition of 17x8.25 xxr 530's, it should essentially eliminate almost all wheel gap, correct?

 

b&g is lol. It almost tucks the rear tire

 

what about the front?
cut half a coil to reduce negative rake?
also, ive seen lower ls's with the same springs i have. =/

 

Ordered some b&g's from my shop, they're back ordered so they should be here in a couple weeks. Do they give negative rake like the sportlines?

 

Yes

 

yes to the half coil thing? or that i ordered b&g's? lol
