I don't know about "most" ricers. But many have done it....and almost all regret it. I had an old 1980 Honda Accord I did it to, and the ride was insanely harsh. The ride was so bad that, any illusion of "better handling" was out the window because I was making constant steering corrections to stay on the road.

Don't do it. Buy aftermarket spring for about $100. It is SOOO worth the money if you want a lowered car.

Not worth it.

If you do decide to do it, don't use a hacksaw. Find someone that'll let you use a plasma cutter. Make sure you cut it correctly to get the the safest spring rate.

Don't give him ideas lol, even the cheap uneven drop springs that you find for $100 or less new on ebay is 10x better than cutting springs!!!

Cut Springs = Dumbfuck Owner.

I'll elave it at this. My friend did it on his Jetta. After the spring poped the front tire while driving, he vowed to never pull that shit again.

Dude springs now a days are SO cheap, why waste time and effort cutting stock springs????? Get a job, pony up the money and buy REAL lowering springs...

DON'T DO IT!!! Spend the money on aftermarket springs and save yourself all the problems that will result from cutting your springs.
