I'm just curious as to whether or not anyone here has cut their springs.

My car was lower in the rear than the front, so I did some research on Honda-Tech and found that several people successfully cut their Eibach springs with no negative results.

So last night I tore out my front Eibach Sportlines and today I cut off one coil from each with a Sawzall. I put them back in and have been driving the car all night, and the ride is very close to the same. The handling actually seems better, but I attribute that to cutting my bumpstops in half, which I also did while everything was apart. And now the car looks a better. smile.gif

I'll take pics when I get home and can grab my camera. I'm out of town at my friend's apartment right now.

But yeah, if anyone else has cut their springs on a sixth gen. Celica, how was your experience with cut springs?

Lol, pretty funny considering the source. tongue.gif

I have money for coilovers and decided to get Ground Controls if my spring cutting didn't turn out as I'd hoped, but since the results are fine I'll stick with the Sportlines. wink.gif
