59starlet Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 Just thought you would like to see my daily ride. I have chopped 2 coils off the springs front and rear. Soon I will take the springs out. Im new to the Jap scene so any ideas about my car will be cool. Quote
Sparky Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 Ummm no pics Chopped the springs...seems like a good idea Quote
*STONEY* Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Just thought you would like to see my daily ride. I have chopped 2 coils off the springs front and rear. Soon I will take the springs out. Im new to the Jap scene so any ideas about my car will be cool.I have an idea for ya chap . . . Put some standard springs back on your car - or get a lowering kit - - that is a stupid modification to do - Well you call it a mod - stupidity is a better word for it probably!!!Welcome anyway . . . Just be careful them shocks dont finish through the bonnet.Stoney Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 welcome to UKSC!!lets see some pics of your motor dude!enjoy your stay here!Phil. Quote
Sparky Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 I very much doubt it was done properly but we will see Lets see the motor then Quote
59starlet Posted December 31, 2007 Author Posted December 31, 2007 Hi, Having problems with getting my photos on at the moment. they will follow shortly. I didnt think some people would get so upset about chopping springs.The lower the better I say. Quote
Sparky Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 The lower the better is true in my opinion dont get me wrong ;)But unless the springs are cut properly then it is just down right dangerous....plus your standard shocks wont cope for long Have you uploaded the pics onto a hsoting site first i.e Photobucket?Just copy the link and paste it into the add reply box on here...hope that helps Quote
59starlet Posted December 31, 2007 Author Posted December 31, 2007 Hope these photos come out ok. Thanks for the advice but i have finished using it as my daily ride so it is just a bit of fun now! P.S. I have attached a pic of my golf too to show how low i will go...but that was with coil overs! Quote

59starlet Posted December 31, 2007 Author Posted December 31, 2007 Hi, yeah its a great little car. 1st im going to lower it as much as possible, then try andbuy some 7x13" superlites and thats about it. All my spare money goes on my 59 beetle. Have you got any ideas or any pics of yours. Quote
hill_bill10 Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8457all my pics are on that part of the forumim trying to find some proper suspension for it but nowere does anything for them! you have to bodge everything lol Quote
Sparky Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Suspension is the same on EP70-80-90 models ;)So theres plenty of options Quote
s1oww Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 You only have one real option, get that grinder out and cut those pesky springs in half. Its far to high, i may even set base camp up under those arches, there plenty of room ;) Quote
