I'd explain why this isn't actually as dumb as it looks, but it's better without comment.

 

watch the toes dude.

 

RT has had his S2000 lowered via the spring cutting method for about seven years now. Car still does fine, and Ray can still outdrive almost any other S2000 drivers with it.

 

To hear some of our fellow S2kI members talk you'd think that anyone who cut a car's springs was an idiot, and I really wanted to see what they'd have to say about some pictures of someone actually doing it. As you probably guessed, this guy knows exactly what he's doing, and what he's doing isn't dumb at all. In fact, I thought it was pretty clever; Would have done it myself if I'd thought of it, and still might.

Hahaha, I hope you haven't scared off all the people who would have had comments on how dumb this is.

 

everyone i seen that had lowered there cars via cutting springs.. i see them bouncing all over the place

 

That's beause many (if not most) people don't have a clue.

There are always more horses asses than there are horses.

 

If you cut a coil you will increase the spring rate. As long as the new spring rate is within the range of the shock it should be fine.

 

no gloves or real shoes, hope he didn't slip or have the disc shatter.

So, what is the right way to cut a spring?
