RE: lowering springs
the only way to tell is to try. if you want to lower your car you do not need new springs, remove the old ones and cut a coil out of the old one and install, one coil spring will lower the car about 6 to 8 inches.

So if he cuts out 2 coils, it will lower it 12-16 inches?? Do you know what your talking about?? Don't give advice out if your an idiot, and you could get him killed!! Go buy real lowering springs and do the project right.

I love that was your first post...LOL!!!
people like that shouldn't be able to post thoughts. I'm surprised he didn't just say heat them with a torch and take the temper out of them

if you do have proper coils in a car, you can get away with cutting almost a full coil off. the best way to do this is with a plasma cutter while submerging the coil in a bucket of water so you don't loose any of it's strength

RE: lowering springs
Jeep Liberty budget boost kits require the front coils be cut. We cut them with a cut off wheel. It dose not affect the springs design caractoristics at all. you have to get them damn near red hot before you start changing temper. I still don't recomend cutting coils in situations described in this thread but it can be done very easily. You need to think about what you're saying to some of the other less experienced members.

Make sure that the coil is very pure... water + high power electrical tools don't mix. Salt water conducts electricity, as will any other alkali material so watch your ***** so they don't get fried. V-6 will fit into the V-8Z28 model, just be a little bit lower and a little bit softer than the ones designed for the Z28.
