Sorry if this is a repeat and is on the site somewhere. If it is just send me a link and I'll get to cutting!
I'm currently saving for coilovers. In the mean time I want to cut my springs to eliminate some of my awesome wheel gap. Can I get an inch in the rear by cutting the springs? I only have one set of springs and I don't want to screw this up. Is it all trial and error? Do I cut the top of the spring or the bottom? Or is it a waste of time and I should just wait for my coilovers? I have a 1990 miata with 1.5 inches between the tire and the rear fender. Any thoughts? |

Don't waste any time cutting your springs. Doesn't impress anyone and its really not worth the effort.
Just chillax and focus on other shit, and before you know it your coilovers will be here. seeings cars going down the road bouncing uncontrollably looks waaay retarded. WAIT. who gives a shit about wheel gap when you're stock. my daily is sky high and it never once crossed my mind to cut my stock springs. As a matter of fact I'm enjoying it while it lasts. Seeings as my shits getting hammered if i end up keeping it. -------------------- |
