I lowered my car about 2 months ago with the L tuned S/S combo, the back of the car sits alot lower because of added audio equipment + passengers. My question is how to make the front about 1/2" - 1" lower? some people say to cut the spring a little, i dont really want to do that but they say if cut in the rite place it wont affect ride, quality especially if its only 1/2 in ? any input ?


Also i dont want to go coilovers because of the money!

Thanks!

Never cut springs....thats a hack job.

Also, do NOT buy spring clamps....it can be used for show....but not safe imo ...for daily driving.

If not coilovers, then consider getting Daizen or Espirlir (sp?) springs up front....they are lower than the Ltuned.

Replacing the front springs sounds like a good idea, Does anyone know which company makes the lowest and how much lower is it than L tuned? Thanks! Also any recommended vendors?

I have had bad expierances with eibach in other vehicles so i do not recommened them, I PMed Cannonbear hopefully the springs are still available. Thanks for the input everyone, still open to suggestions!

.....and why is it a hack job? 'TORCHING' springs is certainly a hack job. Cutting a 1/2 coil doesn't seem like a 'hack' job to me.


BTW, I have Eibach's myself. I'm hapy with them, they went in great, etc, but I do have the same problem as XBS1 in that my front is just slightly higher in front. (and I don't have my wub-woofer in yet!)

I was thinking about cutting mine a 1/4 or 1/2 coil myself when I did the control arm bushings.
