Whats everyones opinion on it??
I have Csprings, and dont like the stance anymore with my Cobra R's on it.
If I pick up stock springs, and cut them, what are the pros/cons???
If I dont like it, I'll have my Csprings to put back on.....But I just wanna know what everyone thinks.
I never liked my C springs, I switched from stockers to the C springs looking for a cheap drop and liked them for the price and almost identical spring rate to the stock FORD spring rates. I switched back to my stockers for a while and cut 1 1/2 coils off mine front and 1 1/4 in the rear, stance was a lot better but not as aggresive as I wanted so I kept switching out suspension combo's till I found the H&R's my car rides on now.
Pro's - it's cheap, you'll have OEM spring rating's so the ride won't be horrible, you can sell your C springs, if it's not low enough for you, you can always cut some more off.
Con's - because of the OEM spring rate cutting more than 1 coil off will cause you to bottom out more often (pretty much the case with any drop that low) it's very easy to cut too much ( a pro is you can pick stockers up for cheap anywhere) it can be a royal pain to pull the spring out and put it back in till you find the exact amount of coils your looking to cut off, plan on pulling them 3-5 times each.
I've cut consistant 1.8 60's with a 17" nitto DR with just adjustable shocks (otherwise bone stock suspension) with only 240ish rwhp on both the C springs and cut stockers.
