H&R springs? Please Help

andrewkd16 · 06-15-2011, 10:41 AM

I have H&R springs on my nismo i loved the drop btw. the rear sits perfect for me right at the top tread of my tire. the front however didnt settle quite far enough to my like. if i cut spring slightly will that be bad? i have no kind of knock or anything from it being to low so i though about cutting but didnt know if that would be a bad idea....

yes it will be bad, don't cut a spring. Remember, you don't have a Honda Accord.

Oddly, the H&R Springs sit lowest of any spring for the 370 so if it doesn't sit low enough, you need coils...

The solutions people come up with..... Please dont cut the coils. I agree with TJ. Just get a set of coilovers.

I agree with them don't cut the springs, the megan springs are a 1.5 drop all around but the quality of them is unknow. I say go coliovers and sell me your H&R's lol
