And the risk of it coming out, I would say would be extremly high.

How would a compressed spring stay in better than a cut spring? At the end of the day you are making the springs shorter than they are meant to be regardless of if its cut or compressed Quote: Originally Posted by ianga u can cut irs just a bit dogey i seen it done before if u been to newzealand thats how they lower there cars by cutting there springs but u always got the risk of it popping out which wont be good Haha I have Koni coilovers in my VL and Tein coilovers in my Lexus IS300 daily driver
