 Why are you always after the cheapest crap you can find? Most of feel we
deserve good quality.....

They have previously frozen meat at the supermarket...... I'm glad I don't
eat at your house.

I've got a set of chopped springs that will lower an early 'stang into a
pandragger if that's really what you want. $5 + shipping. Post if
interested

Better than the discount canned meat, although, it does last longer...

Cheapest is the old crude method of cutting your springs. Not safe in
most cases.

Get some quality springs, they aren't that expensive. If you cannot
afford to buy good springs then you shouldn't be considering spending
money on springs just to lower the car, but spend it on something more
important that doesn't put you and others on the road with you at risk.

I have to disagree with you there. This was common practice in the
old days when there was nobody producing "lowering" springs that
retained the original rate. Nobody had problems unless they cut way too
much off. I had two cars with cut springs and no probs.

The "lowrider" method of heating springs with a torch was dangerous
because that took the temper out of the metal. Combined with heavily
offset skinny wheels, you were asking for *something* to go wrong. But
I didn't run in that crowd.

check out ebay, great deals (on new stuff).
Also, look for the mach-1 set. think it has springs and shocks.
Don't cut your springs, will give you a bad bouncy car with bad
handling.

You didnt' say what car.

good luck

Again, it's the *amount* you take off that dictates negative ride
aspects. We see the shitboxes bounce down the street because they have
whacked off so much coil that they are effectively riding on the bump
stops. Also, the lighter the car and the shorter the wheelbase, the
more bounce.

Thanks for the reply, i had 10 or so with about 1 or 2 that were actually
literate, and helpfull... Ill look into the Mach-1... I had H&R springs on my
previoous stang, but i didnt like the set cause it didnt lower it enough, and
the price was fairly high as well... Im looking into DROPZONE springs too, have
you ever heard of them? tom
