Lowering
« on: November 09, 2009, 02:27:42 am »
So I have the eibach pro kit on the SS and I am tired of the front sitting higher and was wondering if anyone has cut there springs? I was thinking of maybe only half of one coil? Would that be a bad idea? 



I just don't like the way it sits...

I would just get new springs. LS1 tech has some really good information on spring brands and heights.

Cutting increases the spring rate I believe, making it stiffer.

The SS looks like it could kick your ass, the WS6 looks like it's coming over to do it!
