Not advisable lowered car sa mga roads natin. Look at the road ruts, bumps, humps, potholes, floods, etc. Do you think your lowered car can handle and withstand these? Much better naka body lift. Lowered cars are only for thec race tracks. Better have your budget on other car maintenance items.
im advicing you not to cut your stock springs to lower your tsikots by doing the shortcut ways, guess what ako ung been there, done that... na sinabi ni chief niky. and guess what again, sobrang matagtag ung tsikot ku, lalu na nung tumagal parang 'di na nagpplay yung shocks.. taken from what sir speed unlimited said... "Iyong putol kasi pag tipid mods Pag maigsi kasi spring tumitigas at hindi na ito makapaglaro kaya madaling sisirain ang shock absorber mo at dahilan rin kaya matagtag ."
lowering a vehicle's height by heating the spring is worst because the strength of the heated portion is affected. Its now weak and can actually SNAP-OFF at anytime.
i think mas ok to kesa putol springs pero pwede kaya to? nabasa ko minsan sa classifieds section ata o sa iba forum ata na pwede ka gumamit ng stock springs ng iba car make/model para maglower ang car? pwede ba talaga yun? example but may not be possible: stock springs ng vtec to lower a corolla ae101?
galing lang ako sa wheelers suspension haus last saturday and may mga nagpapalowered ng oto....na pinapaputol pa rin yung springs..
dami na ko nabasa na threads na kapag "putol" ang springs, nakakasira ng shocks, suspension etc.
..pero bakit tuloy pa din? mukang may pera naman yung may-ari bat di sya bumili ng lowering springs kung gusto nya mababa di ba? kung di sya masaya e di balik nya yung stock tapos benta nya yung lowering springs..malamang dami bibili nun.

cheap and ricey! feeling racer e rice naman!
ricey ba?...hehehe
depende naman sa kotse..yung iba kasi (stock) medyo mababa na sila.( mga honda) kaya pag lowered nila..maporma na. yung iba kasi, laki ng fender gap..pag-lowered nila..parang mataas pa rin yung ride.(like altis). kaya pinuputol nila yung springs.
cut or without cutting the lowering springs.da best talaga, pag-lowered mo sabay na palit ng sport shocks.
lapit na rin ako magpalit ng Bilstein Sport Shocks, di ko na hihintayin pang bumigay yung stock kong shocks.;)

what's your views pipol?
nagtitipid yung driver ng auto. But honestly, I also went thru the same thing but its because I couldn't wait for my springs to arrive from aboard.
