camber is going to be fubar, as if it wasn't bad enough with the semi rear trailing arm setup.

Hell, the best shocks in the world wont hold up the that shit. Cutting your springs is stupid, people. Just do it right. I spent a grand total of 600$ on FULL suspension, poly everything, and decent springs and shocks. Your ride sucks because you have blown struts. Replace them. Go coilover if you want to slam your car and not be laughed at (and you WILL be laughed at for cutting your springs).Leegamer wrote: stock shocks and struts? If so, prepare for them to be blown.
I am with KhyronZX, where is the flame-brigade.

I also demand the flame brigade. How many people are this desperate to lower their car? I would at minimum put eibach springs and kyb struts on any car I owned rather than taking a hacksaw to my shoddy stock coils. -

I second the Eibachs. I love em, and it's not ghetto. WTF people, you realize the "slam scene" is about status right? The amount of money and parts you buy make the car "cool".

how weird… its like he's standing in gas and playing with matches…
Pros:
free
easy
fun?
lowers car
stiffens ride
Low cars bring the girls (?)
can join the "no fat chicks, will scrape" club
Cons:
blows struts
emphasizes negative camber
might mess with caster
if not done well can unseat springs
if not even will make the car lean = negative status and the cool kids will like you less
not as stable for strenuous driving
Uncomfortable bouncy squeaky painful ride repels the girls (?)SS #341

if you want autoX or circuit type racing don't cut them cause you'll ruin your caster."produce first.talk second." -

Don't listen to him. Do it right and either buy lowering springs, or go coilover.DeleriousZ wrote: bust out the angle grinder my friend. -
