so i put some new rims on my car today but its sits a little to high and i have tenzo r springs installed and i am going to a shop to have them cut a little bit is this a bad idea

 

Yea dont cut your springs. Post some pics.

 

of course, cutting your springs is an excellent idea.

 

i have cut aftermarket springs before, its not really that bad cause of the different spring rates and your not gonna be taking off that much of the spring. post pics of new rims please!

 

Don't.

 

to everyone saying dont...have you done it before on aftermarket springs and seen the effects? if not gtfo

 

lol i am gonna go with the person who has done it you think i should cut one coil or less

 

My friend cut his aftermarket lowering springs on his Lexus RX300 (SUV). Rode like complete ******* afterwards. He ended up ditching them and re-buying the same springs, but this time he had learned his lesson and left them alone.

 

you can't cut each spring exactly the same so what's the point in messing up your aftermarket springs?

perfect example

 

I posted before yours came up. I didn't see it.

 

how high does it sit anyways? Aren't the Tenzo's lowering springs? Your car should be lowered already shouldnt it?

 

cutting springs is what ricers do

 

coilovers or go home...

arn't tenzo low anyways?

 

i got a almost 4 finger gap in the rear and 3 finger in the fromt

 

what size tires do you have

 

pics can help

 

hmm you might as well get coilovers if you wanna drop some more..but i figured Tenzos already dropped as low as the sportlines..

 

Yeh I would cut them, but make sure and cut them in atleast half...... thats the proper way

I have cut after market springs and it still rides good and handles really nice..rear is 2.5 not cut..front is 3.5 cut a full coil off.

 

on the cobalt

 

noo no no ur all wrong!!!! do what my highscool buddy did and just have a lot of people get in ur car then take u a good set of lifetime warrentied vice grips and crimp the springs were they sit!! lol when everyone gets out...shasammm ur lowered! lol

 

these are all good idea but your all wrong. the only good way to lower the car anymore is to just take a torch and heat the springs. the it will sit low and still have all the coils. LOL someone shot me for just posting that

 

ya thats not good haha my buddy did that to his s10 and the ****** sat sideways and rode like **** lol

 

go buy h and r sports...the lowest you can get without coilovers...get them and be happy
