Im guessing your non turbo...
I couldnt imagen taken a corner with some cut springs while under boost with any type of significant horsepower unless it was a kamakayze car. The Honda forum would know more about cut springs ask over there...


But just to try to help you out before you do something you regret, Why not just get some cheap springs on ebay for like 60 bucks, at least it will be better than completeing screwing up your rides quality and handling by cutting the springs...

you can heat the springs up with a torch while the wheels are sitting on blocks or its on an alignment rack or something. you would likely have to find someone to do this for you lol. its ghetto but it works better than cut springs

No! dont man. Heating springs weakens them. you can snap your springs. and it worps the hell out of them. you wont get an even level with that.

I have a friend that has EBAY springs (I think he paid 80-100 shipped!)

The car rides like a dream, but it is also KY shocks.
Any respectable shop will not do that to your car, but if you do find one expect to pay AT LEAST the hourly rate (60-120hr)








Moral of the story...
save up for a 300 set up and be VERY happy with the ride.

or cut your springs and have a terrible ride (I know from EXP)
Heat your springs and have uneven spring rates all the way around and have a terrible ride.


The choice is yours.
slow car that handles well... a car that will have resale value
slow car that handles like GARBAGE... a garbage car that I will end up taking fenders off of at the junk yard down the road. ( I see them there all of the time)
