tenzos are the lowest you can go spring wise...then you either go with airbags or coilovers

 

whats the specific drop...pics of it lowered??

 

im the lowest on springs haha..im sitting 3.5 front 2.5 rear

 

How long have the Tenzo springs been on your car? If you just got them installed, they WILL settle more within a couple of weeks. If you got smaller tires, that may be part of the problem also.

 

please do not cut the springs....

 

45 profile tires on 17" rims is your problem. You should have gotten 50's at least.

 

cutting aftermarket springs r not as bad as people make it to seem.ive been on cut springs for over a year and no probs.i was on cut springs on my S-10 for over 4 years no problem

 

hmmmm i have seen a few friends cut their stock springs so they can sit lower.....and its a bumpy fuggin ride. i am not sure about aftermarket or if there is a diff though. I still wouldnt do it. But OP its your car, do what you want

 

my car rides stiff but not bumpy like a honda on coilovers with stock struts

 

that is funny lol

 

like i tell every1, do it right the first time and you will be happier in the long run.

dont cut your ****, just get lower sitting springs and sell the tenzos to compensate for the money spent.

 

i bought the lowest sitting springs but the rear was sitting lower so i cut a coil off(1.5 inch) to get it to sit right

 

Thats the second best idea i have heard... right after the vice grip idea lol jk

 

even the God him self(CHIP FOOSE) cuts springs in some cases...... when done right there r no problems. but from wat i have seen u can only cut the fronts on our cars cause the rear spring is made 2 fit tight on both ends. Most coil springs first few turns r dead when the car has weight on it. Which is why doesnt really hurt 2 trim alittle off.......but if u heat the spring 2 much when cutting its junk.....so it has 2 be done right

 

ok so i cut the springs today i will post some pics later tonight

 

The tenzos are already practically bottomed out stock dont cut them if you want to go lower than that invest in air ride or something

 

Cutting springs is acceptable, just know that the more you cut off the stiffer the springs gets.

 

heat them up with a torch. you dont even need to take them off the car lol.

 

god damn it post picts already

 

pics or ban!

 

tmrw i promise my gf has my camera

 

just heat your springs up, that will lower your car too.....

 

pics.

 

Tire size killed it for you, Just like my boy Fix on his Sentra, he had 205/45-16's and has about 2 inches gap and he is slammed on coilovers, those tires are a shitload smaller than his factory ones.
Not quite, I have 245/45-17's and tenzoR's and my rear tires tuck and the fronts have about a finger and a half gap.

 

Chip Foose is a ricer.
