cut eibach pro kit springs.

Daygoskater · 11-23-2008, 11:08 PM

i know alot of you guys disagree with cut springs but i was just wondering has anyone cut their eibach pro kit springs with 1.2 all around..i've cut the front a 1 1/2 coil and it came out how i wanted but the rear i want to cut but scared the spring might fall off..just wondering if anyone here cut the rear eibach springs and how much..i just want to get rid of the two finger gap. thanks!!

Why don't you try going with the lowest spring pads in the rear first instead of cut.

I agree.

As for the fronts, i wouldn't cut your springs. Cutting your springs WILL change the dynamics of the spring; thus giving you a harsh bouncy ride with unpredictable occurances.

thanks for the suggestion!! where can i get the spring pads from? hopefully not the dealership..and how much have u guys spend on them?

You can get it from the dealer from $10-$20 (depending the thickness of the pads) for 2 pads.

hey daygoskater, how does you car feel and ride with the cut springs up front?

Daygoskater · 11-24-2008, 11:11 PM

cool! what would you suggest getting spring pad #1...would that give me the biggest drop?..as far as how it rides..it didn't really make a big differences in ride quality..it a bit more bouncy but it doesn't bother me at all and also lesser body roll or turns. here a pictures how it is right now..sorry if quality of picture is badd.

Daygoskater · 11-24-2008, 11:22 PM
