don't cut your springs ..... if you want to do a dodgy way atleast your spring clamps .. same like spring compressor but not as bulky etc.

ok let me clear somthing with you guys im chopping my stock ones because
i have superlow 2s in there now and i put efxr wheels form my parents car on to get roadworthy and then i was told the front is to low by half an inch and my short shocks wont fit with standard springs so i am chopping them. Straight after the roadworthy and vicroads have checked it my old springs r going back in

Vicroads won't check the springs.. They don't put it up on a hoist so they wouldn't know any different. Give the guy a break. Chopped springs aren't as bad as everyone thinks.
Dude you will be able to fit the stock springs to your short shocks if you compress the spring enough. I'd probably do what Dan said tho and get some second hand stock shocks from the wreckers and just chuck them in. That way your spring land is where it should be and the car will easily be high enough. |
