This. Cutting coils off 17 year old daily driver springs will most likely make it ride like a mop bucket, if it doesn't already.Originally posted by 46Tbird View PostZOMBIE REAGAN FOR PRESIDENT 2016!!! hehComment

Man. Lot of different opinions here, regarding this. Maybe I will just buy a set of 1" lowering springs. Then when I'm in a better situation financially, buy the 2" springs and everything else needed to lower the car that much. Cause I'm thinking that I don't need anything but the springs if I only drop the car a mere 1". But that takes me right back to cutting the stock ones. If there isn't really that much of a change in ride quality or handling, why waste money on buying a set of 1" lowering springs when I can just cut the stock ones? All things considered...Last edited by SMEGMA STENCH; 06-08-2011, 11:41 PM.Comment

I've heard horror stories about spring compressors failing. It's not needed on these cars, as mentioned previously. I've had mustangs with a coil cut out & mustangs with Eibachs, mustangs with FMS B Springs (the blue ones)... couldn't tell the difference one from the next.Ronald Reagan:"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

Cut them bitches!
I cut my springs. In fact I got an extra set of stock rear springs already cut if your interested. Don't listen to these dudes. If you only cut one coil off everything will be fine. Just a word of advice though. One whole coil might be too much for the rear.
I'll help your broke ass do it for $60 bucks. I got all the tools and Ive done it beforeComment
