Cutting coil springs?

Cutting springs was the usual method in the '70s,'80s,'90s to lower the car on a satdy arvo! Yes it is illegal too, cause if you cut too much off the spring will fall out of its seat. Tie wire (2mm galv) helps them stay put. You can lower the spring platform about 2in depending on tyres/offset etc.....i did this when a pr of spring weren't quite right, is best to completely empty the strut of its insert as it may explode(if its gas) when welding.

Do you mean a Pinto[88]

Ok. There's a mob here in Bris who'll reset the standard coils 2" for half the price of new springs. Will that still leave the problem of not sitting between the seats correctly?

One problem I've run into is the brake line on the strut leg. The little tag is NOT slotted so I need to disconnect my brake lines to get the struts out. What a PITA! Is there a way around this?

If you cut the spring's make you must fit shouter shocks the spring must be held in its boot or housing it must not be lose when the car wheels are jacked off the ground
over here you are not aloud to have the spring wired in it must fit in its set

hope that helps

((The little tag is NOT slotted so I need to disconnect my brake lines )) i sloted mine [88][:x)]
