cutting NISMO springs????

mbenetto · 10-25-2011, 07:17 PM

okay guys... question for you and sorry if I sound like an idiot... I got SMOKING DEAL ON A SET OF FATORY NISMO SPRINGS... but I am hearing that if I install them, they will drop the car .4 inch, .5 inch, or raise the car .15 inch...

So which is it???? And how bad would it be if I cut of 3/4 of a coil to drop a bit more... is that insane?

Thanks guys!

Yes. That's completely insane to cut springs. It's a Z not a civic. Sorry, I had to say it.

Sell them for a profit, and buy the correct springs with the right height

Don't EVER cut springs.

THANK YOU!!!! I was hoping you all would say that! Any opinion on what springs to use to drop the car .75 - 1 inch?

Please don't cut springs ever, eibach is a small drop. I had them and took them off as they were bouncy as hell swift is a much better spring.

What about tein springs? They seem to have the drop i am looking for and are reasonably priced... I'm only looking to go an inch at the max.
