How many coils will i need to cut/clamp

[mitsu-racer]

Its time for me to go low. I'll like to know how many coils i'll need to cut (if its the route i choose to go) or how many coils i'll need to clamp (should it be the route i choose)

Before you answer by saying its unsafe, its ghetto, the car is going to drive horrible, it's gonna be bouncy blah blah. Im WELL aware of the con's of performing such an action.

Anywho.

how low u want to go..? drivable or not? or you want to slam all the way like the US modders

I want to go as low as the image in the post i showed. Thanks guys.

lowering springs are out of the question. Wayyyy to expensive on my budget

if u don wan to buy sport spring,then cut 11/2 round at front and 2 round at back..try this first..

i dont thhink can cut the coils half circle... its either full or it wont sit properly... tell the workshop you wanna hv them cut to desired height.. after that problems like chamber and fender touching will arise + whether its functional to drive or not its another matter since u dont care bout it

u will 100% regret after cutting the coils. the ride becomes a freaking pogo-stick.

i'd suggest if u want proper lowering, get sports/lowered coils or better yet, get a set of adjustable coilovers.

normally cut 2 round... later on you will regret, ur suspension will be more suck than its before..

lowering springs also too expensive for u, save up and pump petrol better...

better don't cut it, otherwise if you regret and do not feel comfortable with your ride, there is no U-turn. If your budget is low, don't lower your car just for the sake of lowering.Get springs that is meant for lowering car heights.

Look for 2nd hand sport spring will not cost u a lot.
Don't overlap Engineering design.
If have budget concern, better hold on the project first.
Safety first... for other road users as well.

If u really want to cut ur ori spring, maximum is 1 coil allowed.
Good luck.
