    Smile Hey alright I'm making progress

    Got it fixed. My car rides really well. Went along withmy friends for a car cruise last night. Kept up with a 3rd gen sentra, an EK9, but got left in the dust from an integra typeR. It was fun. Vacummed the interior, took off some stickers and now waiting for some rims to put on. Next week, we'll primer the car, then cut springs to lower the ride.

    just buy some real lowering springs... even some coil over cost like 60-80 bucks

    Do not cut the springs, your just asking for bad things to happen. Buy some coilovers.

    Re: Hey alright I'm making progress

    if you cut the springs, your ride will be very very bumpy.

    thats one of the stupiest things ive seen...wuts the point of taking out the springs? it does not look or handle any better....i bet the ride is crap....and if you are that low you would not be able to clear a speed but or a driveway.

    well you can adjust your ride....so you can have a full 3 inch drop and when you get sick of it you can adjust it to a 1inch drop... so yeah...plus how about if you cut the springs and then it way off...anyways its your choice.

    Re: Hey alright I'm making progress

    if it's a daily driver just regular springs that give you a 1.5 drop is good. With coilovers if you don't have good shocks your still gonna have a bumpy ride depending on what you get trust me. Also it's not like your gonna be raising and lowering it on a regular anyway for a daily driver unless you autox or race on the weekends. That's just me but it's your choice.
