Cut sprints - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Got sick and tired of my sprint springs, the back was lower than front by 2inch, so i cut a coil and a half off the front sprint springs now its better. Ride qaulity a lil bouncier but a better low and not uneven like before. Not saying at all you should cut the springs that already meant to lower your car at all for safety reasons but i was sick of the back being lower. Fudge it i'll get coilovers later.

DID YOU HAVE SOUNDS IN THE TRUNK BEFORE THE CUT?

shocks prolly almost gone and yea if i got over speed bumps @ 25mph neiborhood speed over bumps it clunks. The front drops nontheless, it was unsatifactory to me before and this is just a banaid for now, will do it proper later, like the definite engine swap if cars not totaled by then

Sweet! Look much better. I also decided to cut my front springs but I only cut one coil. the drop wasn't very noticeable. Might try another half coil later.

Get struts to even the bouncing.

JW, do you have the JDM hood lifting thingy? lol
