Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior cutting ur springs

i was telling my friend how if you cut your springs your car will bounce really hard up and down withe the slightest bump. and then i got flamed by a bunch of kids who wre like. blah blah blah cutting ur spring will only lower ur car and make the ride bumpier and there's no point doing it. i thought cutting your springs make you bounce really hard up and down. am i right or wrong?


PS: if i'm right i'm gonna print out this thread and rub it in their face.
PSS: those kids arguing with me all own civics

you r right? cutting spring = i saw this one car once in a highway bouncing way too much...i think he was only going 50mph

cutting ur springs is stupid it will lower ur car but is will fuck up the aligment and ur tires will bend toward the inside

and you will bounce all over the place

yep its no good.. get ready for a bouncy ride..get real springs..

on the plus side the bounce give it ricer status and it looks really dope ...not

don't forget your shocks will go to sh*t from all the extra bouncing

haha tite i win!

hey..that's like havin hydrolics for a cheap ass price... i once drove beside a civic that was bouncing like hell on the road, i'm like "dang he hittin switches??" haha...obviously, i know he wasn't because i didn't hear the air pumps.

if you hear air pumps with hydro's, then there's something wrong

just wanted to point out the kids factor..
Well unless they get their facts straight and actually have something to back up their claims never listen to anyone especially a kid

Learning is all about reasearch, backing up claims and learning from mistakes.

cutting spring= a common rice effect

VERY BAD IDEA. I agree it will mess up you alignment and your ride will be aweful. Plus most of the time people do it wrong and it looks bad.

The purpose of a spring is to exert tension on your shocks.

The shocks absorb the impact, and the springs force the shocks to stay extended, rather than compressed.

Cutting the stock spring will only reduce the amount of force exerted on the shock to keep it extended, thus making the car go boing boing boing because there isn't enough force to keep the shock extended.

and there it is Peter.. courtesy of Jameson..

something to back up the statement and an explanation why

yea cutting your springs will kill your shocks/struts and give you a hella bouncy ride...if your gonna do , do it right

you also run the risk of the spring buckling and the strut shooting through your hood or rears. really messy and too expensive to mention (imagine your whole car slamming to the ground while in motion)

yea i printed this out last night and showed them off today, and then they were talking baout how they wash thier cars, and i toldthem that i wash and wax my car every weekend, and they were saying how it's baad for your paint?

exactly

well they got you with that...its ok to wash everyweek but waxing every week is harmfull to your paint do it only once or twice a year

Cutting springs

dont cut...get new springs or forget it

Haha, it's funny to see a car with cut springs. It just keeps on bouncing back and forth like the Energizer Bunny.

yeah better off gettin lowerin springs

ha ha this thread is still going...
yah peter showed his friends.. but they said something like they won't believe what we all said...

Well I hope whoever was going to cut their springs does it so he will find out what a shitty mistake he made.

oh i meant that sound that they make, either air spiffing out, or some mechanical buzz..i dunno anything about lowriders..hehe
