Don't cut springs, cut shocks. It's rice when you cut springs but all the big boys are cutting shocks.

See where I'm headed with this?

I thought the proper thing was to heat the springs and let the weight of the car squish them down a bit...

And I'm definitely doing the cut shocks mod next!

Holy smokes, don't do any of that!

All kidding aside, don't do any of that.

Edit: It's funny how cut springs are frowned upon usually, except when done right.

A la Mike Burroughs.



Go figure!

Yeah I was actually referring to that car, plus yes I read it "can" be done right.
Yes ricers did it wrong and gave the cut springs a bad rap, but it was a valid method back in the day.
Yeah it was a honda I pulled the color as an example, but the thread I saw it on had Vw's and other cars too. I remember Kriptonic having a sig pic (with Mr. Phil and another audi) a while back with the stock 15's highlighter yellow, and that's what I got the idea from. I swear I got the reject a4 (wrong color, automatic, 2wd)

Edit: I'm getting Vmaxx Coilovers after this semester, so I guess ill just stick with that, since cuttings hated on so much. I'll just grab some b6 wheels and leave em stock

Wrong color yes, autofantastic I like to call it and FWD is a shame.

I do enjoy brightly colored wheels though, I should clarify that. It's just hard on silver.

I saw a guy on AZ paint his wheels green like that and put a monster energy drink sticker on his car... he re-painted them to black and took the sticker off in a week.
