paputol ng springs for lowered look?

[mgbrillo]

Tanong ko lang kung anong effect kung pinaputulan ko lang ang springs rather than buy a lowering kit para sa pa-lowered ng auto? i mean, lowered ang look, but how about the performance and effect nito sa suspension ng auto? - pizza pie ang auto.

remember these words...

"save some money now... pay a lot more for repairs and proper lowering springs later."

please repeat 3 times...

save up man..

its worth it...

i mean the lowering springs... the real one.. not the cut ones

[caloyski5]

ito lang masasabi ko..do it right the first time ;)

actually I cut them already.. It was just I thought about it when a friend told me that I should have not cut 'em because of the things you mentioned here. I guess it's too late (I wasn't able to log here for several days -- bad trip, naka-block and yehey sa client namin and no phone lines to use for dial-up hmp!)

Anyway, I don't have that much experience yet on seeing/feeling kung masyadong matagtag ang auto. On a straight, fine road okey naman.. so I assume so far, so good. My only indicator would be pag bumigay ang shocks (kapapalit ko lang last week nung isa just before I decided to cut 'em). So when that happens, then mali na nga.

Any suggestions kung anong magandang brand ng lowering springs (or pare-pareho lang ba ito, brands lang nagkatalo)? and saan makakabili nito? I wanted to buy them myself para alam ko.. saka pano mo malalaman kung peke or totoo?

Thanks in advance.

you can't miss with Eibach.
they're not too expensive, maybe 30% more than OE springs.

Eibach Sportline springs.
