            well, you know. I'm broke, and my golf rides and handles like an elephant.
            I'm after opinions positive or negative

              If you cut a standard spring... say... in half, you're effectively doubling the spring rate.
              Add to that the standard length of the shock's stroke and you'll have some seriously whack handling.

              $700 is not a lot of money to spend on coil-overs, albeit 'low quality' ones.
              There's far worse things than having a stance impaired vehicle.

                spring should be held captive at all times.

                Thats main reason why they so bad,

                But lower springs usually = stiffer rate to stop car bottom out..
                So standard spring = soft + cut 2-3 coils off = still soft spring and a bouncy ride which will bottom out bad.

                Anyway, leave now and hide.... we might forgive you

                    IH8

                    Explain to me how it doubles spring rate??

                    If a stock spring is 4kg and you cut it, it dont become 8kg.... its still the stock 4kg

                            Yes, the spring rate is the same, but with less spring being compressed under the same amount of weight, the rate at which it is compressed increases.

                            Mmm, yr12 physics was a while ago now...

                              oh k, I would have thought with less springs, it becomes more firm.
