Re: [Chevelle-list] Front coil springs

[Dan McIntosh]

It's a much better option than heating the coils, but not as good as buying lowering springs. If you do decide to do this, use a method other than flame cutting, such as abrasive wheel, cold saw, etc...   Just remember, don't cut off too much at once, a 3" cut on the spring, DOES NOT equate to 3 inches of drop.   Dan McIntosh 1960 Impala Sport Coupe Street Metal Fabrications http://www.lowriderimpala.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Chevelle List To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 7:34 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Front coil springs Hi Everyone....Hope you all had a great Christmas and got a few parts for yourselves under the tree... I was reading on a website(can't remember which one now) that some people have actually cut a few coils off their front springs to lower their cars a few inches....Has anybody here done this and is it a safe thing to do..???..I have seen drop spindles and such for lowering but haven't heard of slicing a coil or two off your front spring.....
