I'm just curious as to whether or not anyone here has cut their springs.

My car was lower in the rear than the front, so I did some research on Honda-Tech and found that several people successfully cut their Eibach springs with no negative results.

So last night I tore out my front Eibach Sportlines and today I cut off one coil from each with a Sawzall. I put them back in and have been driving the car all night, and the ride is very close to the same. The handling actually seems better, but I attribute that to cutting my bumpstops in half, which I also did while everything was apart. And now the car looks a better. >>

I'll take pics when I get home and can grab my camera. I'm out of town at my friend's apartment right now.

But yeah, if anyone else has cut their springs on a sixth gen. Celica, how was your experience with cut springs?

ooo coomer you ricer...... >>

Lol, pretty funny considering the source. >>

I have money for coilovers and decided to get Ground Controls if my spring cutting didn't turn out as I'd hoped, but since the results are fine I'll stick with the Sportlines. >>

I wasn't debating it at the time...I'd already started cutting. >>

Aren't there... errr... forget what they're called, like spring compressors that you can put on and drive on? So you can drop as much as you want and not destroy your springs.

I cut my springs I used 1st gen mr-2 rear springs in the rear.. I'mnot gonna get in to the whole thing!

PICS NOW!

How come you cut your bumpstops in half?

Because I think on some corners I was riding on my bumpstops...with the lower half of them cut off, I've got a bit more suspension travel. >>

Pics will be coming tonight...I forgot to take some before I tore apart the car's front end today, but it should be back together in a few hours.

Here are a couple pics. They don't really look much different from any of my other pictures...the difference in height isn't much.

She looks pretty slick.
