cheap drop coils?

[Mercmarquis]

I was searching for drop coils and I need them now cause the new bullitts look small on the stock ride hieght. I came across these, they are on sale but the spring rate is alot higher than 925's. So I'm thinking here of cutting 1 coil off of them so it drops the car. I dont really care if the ride is really rough as long as it handles really well. They are only $10 a piece so I think I could probably use them.

I'm running the 1000lb'ers and my car looks like this:

You might want to go to a larger tire size, like 255/50 instead of the 245/45, so it's closer to the stock tire diameter. If you drop it too much lower than what I have, you will start messing with the suspension geometry a bit. Might just get some lower rate springs and trim them to the hieght you want.

What tire size do you run? I was thinking about keeping the 245/45's in the front and upping the rear tires to 255/55's or so to compensate in the rear. I'm thinking the ones that jonnie has are probably right up my alley. Right now I have close to 3in of space from the tire to the fender, it looks pretty goofy, but I love the bullitts. I suppose I could also try the old 50's and 60's trick of heating up the coils with an acetelene torch till they drop too lol.

That is wrong and dangerous. If you are going to use your stock coils remove them and cut a coil off, with a cut off wheel, hacksaw, saw-zall, something not a torch.

if you cut 1300# springs you will end up with 1400-1500# springs.

I'm just gonna cut em, I know heating em up would be very very bad, I was just kiddin. So how many coils should I take out? 1 or 2?

[mrltd]

Start with less....you can always cut more out...tough to add. 1 coil will drop it a good bit.

[Mercmarquis]

1 coil dropped it about 1 3/4" It looks perfect.

Does anyone know how much would shipping be for a pair of those springs?

Kidding. Sorta. You have fourteen hours, thirteen minutes, and a few seconds to post some pictures or you're going to burn in Hell for all eternity.
