Cut springs or Coilovers?
 
Gotta 90 Prelude Si. Tryina drop it a little. debating on cuttin the stock springs, or get a cheap set of coilovers. not looking for real performance gain, i'm more tryina get the slammed/flush stance.

Both are going to give you a trashy ride. If nothing else, just spend the coin and get yourself one of the better sets of junk c/os like Megans or Tiens or BRs.

Or, actually spend the money to do it right.

Either one of them could potentially fail on you while driving down the road. But that's a chance us people take! Id say cheap coilovers

I was lookin around at some coilover systems, because i have a weird car that not too many ppl work on, hardly any companies out there make any type of suspension upgrades.

lol cut the springs.

OutToWinPAHC 09-12-2010 04:03 PM

Those coilover sleeves probably wont even fit the shock perches correctly. I say neither.

Cut the springs so you wreck your car. Its the cool thing to do.

Drive with tires or no tires? You tell me which is the stupid choice....

for like $200 you can get legit springs man.

ourbloodykisses 09-30-2010 06:29 PM

^lowering springs are whack though


if you want to be low, pay up. do it right, dont cheap out.

06SS/SC ALL DAY 10-01-2010 02:31 AM

cvcrcr99 10-02-2010 09:12 PM

yeah dont cut the springs or get sleeves i had them on my civic and you hit a bump and bounce a mile down the road....... but it was low

92accordex 10-03-2010 12:18 AM

If youre prepared for a pretty much bad ride go for either mad people are rocking both

highmilehatch 10-03-2010 11:17 AM

Cut springs, definitely.

tranceporter 10-03-2010 12:29 PM

i have cut springs on my s2000. do it, don't listen to anyone

Ridachu 10-03-2010 08:02 PM

sleeves are easier than cutting springs...and id rather say i have sleeves than cut springs...you can change also your hieght with sleeves

liberta 10-04-2010 02:05 AM

Make sure you heat the springs before you cut them ;)

Besides the weight savings from the missing coil is like 15hp!
