Sounds like you have F'd up your suspension.

1. After you took your suspension apart and ruined it, did you at least check the alignment?

dude, put on your flame suit cause these are not hondas, and you could of got a cheap set of springs for about 100-200

and are you sure you cut them evenly? did you seat them back when you put them back in?

i would stop driving take those springs off and get a new set asap

yeah you pretty much f***ed your suspension. now that you did that you might as well go all the way and get some springs and shocks. anyways why did you take the time to do taht instead of buying new ones?

Let me get this right - "heated up the springs"? so you didn't cut them you just melted them till they shrunk an inch? lol thats great . I'm sure it was a uniform job up and down not to mention left to right

LMAO
