FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CUT OEM SPRINGS LET ME KNOW SOME INFO...!!!

PLEASE DON'T TELL ME TO BUY LOWERING SPRINGS....

I WILL ONLY BUY THEM IF I DON'T LIKE THE CUT SPRINGS...

SOON TO FIND OUT





i will cut my springs but i want to know how to take the springs off...

do i jack up the car all the way up (front) and the springs will come off? or so i need rent a compressor?

for the rear is it the same thing?

im also aware of cutting the bump stop but any measurement? or use own judgement?

i cut my honda spring many times...

i used dremel (wheel cut)

[yusuke280]

good luck, hope you won't lose your car.

Take everything you know about your honda and throw it away! That will not help you at all. These springs are much smaller and do not come out the same. The compressor goes inside the spring. My best suggestion is to do 1 coil and get #1 pads front and rear. Please be very careful, remember that your honda was about 1000lbs lighter. Theses springs have alot of tension!

if your gona cut them at least take a decent amount off,
1 coil front 1 1/2 - 2 rear
and make sure you cut it off the right end ;)

Seriously just spend the $200 on actual lowering springs and you'll be much better off in the long run -- btw: its not easy to take the springs off a 202.

[EDM6VIP]

i tried searching for 1 day no results...


i want to take my front springs out and cut it 1 coil. however i rented a spring compressor but unfortunately it does not fit and there's is no way of using it (wasted) so what I wanna find out is ........ "Is there a way to remove the front springs with out spring compressor? "

let me know the full procedure

[c280nz]

i removed my front springs by undoing the shock first. then the sway bar, then bend the arm right down hard and pop the spring out, you may need a pinch bar to help you get it out of the bottom spring seat, but it will be alot easier to get it back in

Cutting your springs is very dangerous.

Please stop raping the W202 like its some ricer Honda...:(

[RemoLexi]

its only dangerous when your driving like a nut case thinking your car will out-handle anything on the road. If your just normally driving in city/traffic with cut springs i dont see why its so dangerous. ive been rolling around like that for a month now.

[coolcarlskic43]

The best way to remove the front springs and the safest and quickest way is by purchasing a Kahn tool off of Ebay. Just put mercedes benz spring compressor in the Ebay search and you will see the tool. 150.00 to 200.00.
