I did a search and didn't find anything about this. Has anybody done this before? In lowering our G, since we always want close to stock, would it be possible to just cut a portion of the stock springs instead of replacing it? Start at 1.5" off the tip until desired height is achieved. It would seem logical, right? I am sure the ride should be the same as stock except it's lowered. What do you guys and gals think?

 

Better put on your flame suit....

 

^^^+1,000,000...dood...dont ever cut your oem springs...get some eibachs man

 

Cut 4 coils off, and not take off the tires and rims when you do it. just jack up the car and cut them from there. easy

 

When did this become a civic forum

 

Don't do it. If your cheap, buy some 350z springs for $50. Much better idea.

 

I already had the 350Z H-Tech installed yesterday at Creative Works in San Diego (Thanks James and Del). However, the idea came when I put the H-Tech and the OEM spring side by side. The H-Tech is a little bit shorter as compared to OEM spring.

 

spring rate will determine ride height too, not just the length of the coils in a
relaxed state.

 

LMAO.!!

 

uhhhhh......

 

 

^^^^ Lmao!

 

definitly some **** you do on a civic!! Not a luxury car bro!

 

Thats like the **** they did in the 1950's before lowering springs were around....jesus. LOL

 

Dang....if you can't afford a set of $150 springs...i don't know how you manage to own a G35. The last time I'd heard these ideas was in a civic forum where the majority demographic were dependent kids. I say just don't do it if you can't afford to do it properly.

Albeit $150 is not chump change, it doesn't take long to save over a span of several paychecks. Just eat like your in college for a couple weeks and there you have it.
