Also heard, compressing, if not done right, can weaken the spring which in time will cause it to crack etc. A pretty technical procedure by the sounds of what I've heard - having to make sure each spring is heated & cooled correctly. Wouldnt be cheap either...

Oh really?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Thank you so much for telling me!

My mates old e30 had a set of compressed springs in the back, they were fine ( they never cracked or anything ) but yeah... whats the point when you can get a new set of springs for piss all.

I remember looking at a honda accord at Mag N Tyre here in Hastings, Was getting the front springs comrpessed. Pretty sure it was just $60 for the pair the guy said.

And lol didn't know fuel gauge went all weird being low in an e30. Mines usually "slammed to the ground yo" and I have never had an issue with my gauge reading wrong, I used to drive it on fuel light all the time too, and I could get quite a few k's out of it before it would run out of gas.

Tell him ,

"if he wants to 'Compress' the springs, he can hire a spring compressor for about $15.00

[ re setting them is a lot harder ]

Compress them then get a propane torch and heap them up. Done =D.
