Where to cut rear springs?

97redgt · March 31st, 2008, 01:00 PM

I have fox 4cyl springs in the front and it lowered the front about an inch and kind of pulled the back of the car up to lean forward i guess. Either way i know the rears have to be changed or cut. I don't have money right now so cutting is my option. I know the top is where the cut needs to be made because the bottom wouldn't fit in lower control arm spot anymore. How much should i cut to level it out? I was thinking like 1 coil? Maybe a half not sure any ideas?

You dont have your stock front ones to put back on?

I'd start with 1/2 coil and start cutting 1/4 coil at a time after that until it sits about 1/2 inch higher than you want. It'll probably settle over a few days that much.
