Don't do it. I did it when I had Mustang and the ride was so harsh. And I cut only about 3/4 coil.

NO!

do not cut your springs. once you do it changes the spring rate and can have very negative effects. its just not a good idea. a good set of lowering springs is not that epensive.

Again...DONT DO IT. Spring rates, ride....its all true.

In case you didn't get the point, DO NOT CUT YOUR STOCK SPRINGS.

Completely agree with all the above!!! Bad idea. As mentioned, a good set of lowering springs aren't that expensive. Or, just watch the classified section here on Camaro5. There's usually a set or two for sale in there for even less.

I dont care what the ricer in the civic told you, cutting your springs will ruin your ride quality. Lowering springs are cheap, buy used if need be.

I think there is a trend here.......

Lol thanks everyone. I did it once before in my z28 and couldnt remember how the ride was. I was just curious

We have Camaro's, not Honda's. ;) Everything rides on your suspension and suspension is not the place to cut corners. A good set of springs will ride better, handle better and you can feel confident driving down the road; they are also pretty affordable. Just save up a little cash and do it right

you have a $35,000 car (when new), spend 1% of that and get springs to do the job right.
