hey i been hearing alot of good stuff about the tanabe springs and most likely im gonna be getting them...but has anyone ever tried cutting the springs on these cars?? like 1 coil or so? how is the ride? thanks..

 

Do NOT do that. This is a Lexus, not a Honda, you will RUIN your cars handling.

 

hahaha!! do not cut your springs!!!!that was the first thing i did to my GS and that was a really,really bad decision.it was hella bouncy!

 

did u cut it from the top or the bottom? did u cut all four? and also how much did u cut off? thanks..i think im gonna juss try it for the hell of it..

 

wow...

 

Just completely ignore his advice........

It's going to be a stupid rough ride, a friend of mine did his, it was almost unbearable. Don't do it.

 

please for the love of all that is good in this world...

don't commit this blasphemy. Just get the springs.

 

as a parts advisor, i highly advise you sell your car, and buy a **** box honda, and do that to, seeing how they ride like **** to begin with.

do NOT cut the springs on this car, the springs are rated for a load tension for a reason, and are not ment to be cut, otherwise, it would be a dealer option when the car was purchased.

lowering springs have different spring rates, and are designed to take the shorter rebound

 

lol ok guys i wont cut them! being that my dam head gasket is blow so now i have a bigger head ache

 

goodstuff haha, make sure not to reuse old headbolts, they might stretch causing another bhg later down the line.

 

Its a lexus! c'mon, treat it with respect!

 

Ummm..yes you can re-use them. Loose head bolts or bad head prep will cause another leak. Ive re-used headbolts before.....unless ofcourse the threads are corroded out.
At least the head job is noy too bad on the JZ engine. you should be doen in no time
