    NEVER CUT SPRINGS. That's what everybody here will tell you, if you want a lower ride get lowering springs and do it correctly.

    Edit: BTW learn to type correctly your post is hard to read the way you typed it.

    Try second hand lowering springs.

    Read up on other threads about lowering. The common theme is: DO NOT CUT.

    Just noticed the you want to put a rear spring in the front and cut it. That's even going to be worst because the front is heavier than the rear and if you cut it you'll aggrevate the problem. Here's a suggestion whatever ideas your friend has about cars don't listen to him unless you don't like your car much.

    yes, just settle with second hand springs. mortal sin ung pinuputol!!!

    karamihan sa naglo-lower ay nagiinstall ng shorter springs. ito ung pinakamadaling ma-achieve ung lowering.


    An alternative, is to relocate the hubs and spindles upwards. This is ideal since it lowers the car without changing any of the suspension geometry.

    simple, if you dont have the budget right now, dont push through with your plans of lowering your ride. just save up for bnew/2nd hand lowering springs. do it right the first time, it'll save you a lot of headaches and $$$.

    Secondhand lowering springs don't cost that much, and they don't lose that much stiffness over time (compared to stock springs).

    Does your friend know much about Civics? The rear coils of the Civic have much lower spring rates than the front... not to mention the fact that they're actually longer than the front springs and they won't fit the stock front mounts.

    Do it right. Buy lowering springs and don't cut the stock ones. You could possibly cut the stock ones if this were an SiR (SiR springs are pretty stiff, and don't bottom out badly if you cut one coil off... still doesn't ride as securely when you do this, though.), but not for a regular Civic.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Also please type properly. I didn't even bother to read your thread because it was hard to read. You'll get more replies that way.
