46james46 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hey guys! My car is on tein springs atm, but I want more lows! I don't think my car looks lowered :-/ it's annoying me! I can't really afford to be spending 600+ on coilovers, but can't find springs that are lower than 40mm?? Can anyone help?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weyro Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Cut a coil off the springs Edited June 28, 2013 by Weyro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
46james46 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Is that not illegal and will fail mot? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 ^^^ no aslong as the spring can't come free I cable tied a set I done on an old escort I had wouldn't advise it as it makes it such a harsh ride Quote Link to post Share on other sites
46james46 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Ahhh right! Learn something new everyday haha! Gonna have to save for coilys I reckon :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 TEIN's are well known for not lowering Starlet's. Seen it many a times. Some cheapo 40mm springs will see it lower than your current setup. Spax or PI used to be the brand a few years ago now, I image they are still around. Don't go cutting springs, you will probably end up in a ditch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm sure people keep putting the gt ones on as mine sat quite low with glanza tein springs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
46james46 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Yeah I seen spax, they're pretty cheap like £112 or something! How much you reckon I could get 2nd hand coilovers for? Gonna take ages to pay 700+ for a new set Quote Link to post Share on other sites
