Example of low king springs

[1989RS]

Just wondering if anyone has a photo of a bc5 with just low king springs as I'm sure my one has super lows at the front and just lows in the rear

Thanks

They're legal if they're captive at full droop. Legal doesn't mean they're not potentially lethal. If you f$&@k up your car's handling and wrap yourself around a pole, legal or otherwise you're still dead. Cut ties are a bad idea, pure and simple, unless you're a suspension engineer with a suspension engineer's workshop.

Either you don't know the difference between legal and lethal, or else your priorities differ from people with a bit more common sense. Tell me, if you read in the Herald tomorrow that someone from ClubSub was found dead around a tree because their car left the road on cutties would you feel bad? Guilty? Remorseful? Personally, I'm guessing you wouldn't go back and edit your post above....

na cos like i said there is a way to do cut springs right...my rear are cut with shortened shocks which i shortened myself....its quite low...rides real nice...not stiff..have lowering springs in the front

people are sooo anal over cut springs..... and fair enough if u cut them so much they fall out thats stupid...if not cut much the spring rate doesnt go much higher and they handle fine....

its my opinion..urs is oviously different cos in my opinion lowering springs are a waste of money

each to their own yea

[Guest S T E Y E]

btw i defonatly laughed at that other thread about lowering cars and i mentioned cuts and got shot down big time...then someone said it was in some book about cutting a coil off and suddonly everyone agree with that guy that it was fine to cut it cos it said in the book???? wats up with that???

[Simon C]

If you've got shortened shocks, I'd be interested to know how much bump and droop travel you've got left.

Hah. You don't have to be a scientist to modify a set of springs successfully. You just have to know what you are doing. There is some basic maths involved. There is no need for knee jerk scare mongering over modified springs. Consider the amount of people who cut holes in their cars for front mount piping. Are they accomplished chassis engineers? Do they have a comprehensive understanding of the crumple zones designed into the body?

"Modify with care" applies to everything.

If you want to do it once, do it right, get some springs custom wound after you have corner weighted your car, properly modelled your suspension geometry, considered the most significant usage, and calculated the optimum rate ... O_o

[GC8E2DD]

Don't go chop your springs because someone on the internet said to either.

But GC8E2DD, (fuck your alias lol) it's gangsta low!

I think the moral here is:

1. Noone here has a photo of a BC5 with just low springs.

2. If you're going to lower your ride, it's safest to get professional lowering springs, however, you can cut your springs, but that's something most people hear wouldn't recommend as the cons outweigh the benefits. But it's their decision what they want to do.

Can it be re painted black? if you come up for the pizza night I will get you to have a look at them as I have a feeling they might be too far gone :'( :'(

cuddas you should come up friday my cars getting tuned wednesday, photos?

[slystiguy]

loving the pics

in reply to the cut springs, there was a young fella driving an old evo 2 on cut springs,he had 6 people in the car(overloaded) an decided to flee the police(honestly your piece of shit evo ain't gona out run a cop car wtf?!?!) he hit a bend in the center of town at 100km ran a red light slid through 4 lanes smashed into a pole outside denny's an killed himself an his best mate

cut springs are only for looks an that is a poor example of how dangerous they could be in the wrong hands

they aren't the best idea in a subaru in my opinion as subarus are made for cornering an its really gona affect the performance in most cases...

ramble over lol
