i wonder if it has to do with the suspensions + strut mounts being used...any info on those for those setups?

the JOM ones will NOT work with vr6 style struts?? thats odd, because if the top cap is small in diameter, then it is for the 96.5 and later style suspensions with ALL came with VR6 style strut bearings.

im confused.
although Dan has a 95, so he should have large spring diameter parts

get coils and be as low as you want

Heather, I'm off for the summer, if you want to give them a shot, come on down. Really.

there are two versions in germany out there. one for the normal chassis (4 hole rims) and for the "plus-achse" (5 hole rims, 115hp and above)
you must have the right one for your springs-diameter

but anyway, this kind of "tuning" is crap. my set destroys my shockabsorber from fk. after that i buy a thread chassis (in german gewindefahrwerk), screw it in the right height i wanna have and voilá : perfect!

Maybe if you cut a coil that is active.

They just did nothing in the way of a drop for me.

I'm starting to think. I'm pretty sure my passengerside unit was hammered (the spring cap) - Meaning it was "crushed" slightly from the shoddy job the PO did (or hit something?)... that may have been a "home made" set of lowering caps...

I should have measured both left/right sides... hmmm... yup.. looking at them the passengerside one is smashed for sure..

I bet I got the 10mm on the drivers side, but there was no change on the passengerside... Since the old cap was smashed already... hmmm..

I'm not making this up...

Car does handle great with the new camber number tho.

um. wrong.

heating weakens them. cutting a dead coil just makes you lower.

and less stable, I gues theres a way to do it "correctly"

dont ask me about my cutting springs in my teenage years

Right. Stick spring in bucket o' icewater. Cut. Enjoy not ruining your spring rates.

they definitely lowered my car the 1cm.

i was dumb and didnt take pics of the before and after though.

went down almost 1/2" on both sides.

i just bought the car, and it's got new bilstein sports on her, would i be able to safely put new springs on the car while they haven't been abused yet? i'm looking to drop the car not extremely low but at the same time i don't want to keep her looking like a 4x4 =]
