How much to cut.

[1999 SVT Cobra]

Getting in some 04 stock springs. Looking to lower the car about 1.5-2 inches but I want it to set level not inclined like it is stock. I have been told 3/4 coil in the rear and 1 coil in the front what does everyone else think?

Thanks in advanced

3/4 rear and 1 up front is a good start. If you want lower then go in 1/4 increments until desired height is acheived

Thanks for the help I just dont wanna bottom out when I go over bumps and what not as this car is my DD as of right now. Plan on buying a new car winter 09 so I can put this one up for some real mods. Thanks again

Bottoming/scraping is damn near impossible to avoid on these cars while lowered. You'll learn to go over speed bumps and into steep driveways at an angle.

Anyone have pics of our cars with cut springs? All I ever see are pics of 03/04's. I'm thinking about talking my brother into cutting his springs on his 99.

just curious cuz i dont know but are the 03/04 springs stiffer up front to deal with the extra weight of the motor and intercooler and all that stuff? By the way i have eibach prokit cut half a coil i think with all iso's in.

1 1/2 coils cut up front..... Rear hasnt been done yet... This is the perfect height upfront

Exactly like I want it to look. Hood and all lol. Thanks for the help man it really helps alot. Why is it so low without any coils cut in the back?

Are those the stock 01 springs? I've read that 03/04 springs are shorter than ours so we would need to cut off more to get the desired look.

I'm assuming you have CC plates as well, correct?

 

[AntiHeightPunk]

those are 01 springs on the front ithink he still has the steeda springs in the back though

 

[CobraVenom01]
