Linden 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2009 haha yeh i considered a chop job (would have to buy a angle grinder anyway) but compressing them is a bit better isnt it? cant afford much at the moment as im on a budget so cant afford new decent springs (saving that for the future!) thats why im considering compressing since nobody has any, Ive found a place in chch that'll do a pair for $60 +gst when compressed can they do it to a point where they are still captive or just compress them say 60mm??

Correct me if I wrong, but I was told cutting was better, apparently when a spring is compressed it loses its integrity and becomes sloppy but when a spring is cut it actually increases the spring rate. Either way has its pro’s and cons though. When there are an abundance of cheap aftermarket springs available cutting and compressing seems quite pointless. Linden, have you bothered calling Kith as suggested? He could do you a pair of Votgtland springs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linden 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2009 Yep whats why i've been putting it off, have talked to keith and are probally getting a pair of him if they are low enough. Keith I just took a picture of how it sits now with the superlows in the back, so kinda need it quite low at the front too. I am also considering getting all the shocks shortened as theres a bit too much roll around corners so if anyone knows a cheap place to get them done in chch it would be much appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
