> [@speedped79](#): > > they are there to have the car sit at a set ride height dumbfuck, ive had several people tell me this is fine to do, all of which i will bet have much more car knowledge than you OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT. your an idiot, it comes down to the simple fact that they make the springs to ride at a certain height and they are rated for a certain weight. if they were meant to be cut and made shorter, they would have done it straight from the factory. this is the reason they sell coilovers, they dont just make them for people buy look at and play with. i would be careful who your calling a dumbfuck, your certainly not going to attract anyone to buy your car like that…not that anyone is interested in a half-assed beater anyways. this was taken from an article to prove just how much of an idiot you really are. congratulations how do you feel now? > Now let’s start with rice tip number 1. If springs control ride height, why not just cut the tip of the spring to lower the car? No no no no no. Springs on car are what we call progressive springs. It basically means the more you compress it, the harder it becomes to compress it. Say it take 30lbs to compress the spring a half inch. It would take 100lbs to compress it another half inch. The next half inch might take 500lbs. Why is this important? When you hit a small bump, the springs and shocks are suppose to compress allowing the wheel to move smoothly over it. If you cut the springs, now all of the sudden that small bump isn’t enough to compress the spring so the car will now jump over the bump. Remember a car in the air has less contact with the road. That’s VERY VERY dangerous and hence rice tip number 1 is NEVER cut your springs to lower the car. ---
