Springs...

Killar34 · August 14th, 2011, 06:20 PM

I have a couple questions about springs. Is it better to buy lowering springs or cut stock springs. I have stock on now that the people before me cut too much off them and also used a torch. So they did it completly wrong... I was wondering if I should buy stock springs and cut them or buy lowering. Also at my local salvage yard they are going to charge me 80$ per pair, But when I went on eBay I found a set of 4 for 80$. So my question is has anyone bought these link springs before are they good or should I just bite the bullet and buy stock ones and cut them.
Thanks

honestly the only aftermarkets i'd buy are ford springs, eibachs, and H&R springs...then again my last two stangs ran cut and my new one will have them cut this month

btw better is a relative term on here

So your saying I should just go to salvage yard and spend the money to get stock.

if you're not just cutting your own that you have now then i'd just order a set of a good brand...yes you'll have to pay double what you're looking at now but you'll be happier...now if your willing to cut what you have on the car now then by all means go the cut route..

also check CL...i always see stock springs for cheap on there

eibach prokit...

if your set on aftermarket springs check out LRS they have sve srpings for $99. 2" drop for v8s will be slightly less with v6s

It has cut springs right now. But the people who did it (previous owners) cut way too much off and they used a torch so its rough riding and way to low. I'm wanting to keep it lowered just not as much as it is now. So i'm looking to get stock ones and cut them or get lowering springs less than 160$ because that's what i can get stock ones for and just cut them.

then check out SVE springs like mycurse said...they'll drop you down but your rides still gonna be kinda rough....our shocks suck lol

before i cut these springs this month im replacing my shocks

Killar34 · August 14th, 2011, 07:25 PM

Its like I have no springs tho when i jack the car up the rear springs fall out lol... I had to weld two pipes in there to keep them in when i jack the car up. Are you taking about http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...wering-Springs ?

6ER THEN I 8ER! · August 14th, 2011, 07:28 PM

what are you waiting for then...order some cheap springs then lol...they have to be better then what you have right now

Killar34 · August 14th, 2011, 07:37 PM

Yeah i know thats my point but i don't want to order some cheap springs on eBay put them in and then total my car because they were crap springs so i was curious if anyone has used that brand. This is my daily driver to school and to work.
