you could compress them but i would just get lowering springs much easyer you have too take tthe springs out any way so just replace them.what ever you do dont cut them dont want you to get hurt. smileys/smiley2.gif

hehe cheers

but....... new springs affect the insurance! and wat tools etc do u need to compress them???

[wideboy]

smileys/fcuk.gif haha, cutting or fucking about with them will make you lose your insurance altogether

buy some springs, or if you can afford it - get new shocks too

[Hazza17]

y?? wat just compressing them??

[wideboy]

yes, its all counted as "modifying" your car

which the insurance company has to be informed about.

and to be honest - you'd be FAR better off with new springs...

choose the height you want,handling will be better and theyre not even expensive

this begs the question - why do you want to compress the springs anyway??

[Hazza17]

dunno thought it might b easier!?? or not lol....

cheers for the help!

hazza just take take joes advice he knows is shit. smileys/smiley16.gif

[wideboy]

I wouldnt say that, but to be honest mate...

The suspension is an integral part of the car...if you start fucking around with it - it can affect other mechanical parts like driveshafts,gear box,bearings etc etc

So what starts as a time and money saver - can end up costing a shit load more in the long run.

My adive to you would be to buy a full suspension kit, and get it fitted professionally. Well worth the money, as anyone who has a set will agree

stop being a tightarse and spend 50 quid for proper lowering springs. new springs may affect insurance, but cutting springs could kill you. take your pick mate....

[grantsmith1985]

Joe is right, any one with a full kit will recommend doing it that way, I do.

lowering springs are crap, worse handling that std, amazing how people think £50 will "improve" the handling of the car, the manufacturers obviously missed that one.

he didn't say he wanted handling, he said he wanted to lower his car smileys/smiley17.gif
