aero springs is $1100 if u cant afford dat then cut d springs cause dats the 2 cheapest way u could go low wit a b14..

look into the tein drop springs hoss, dey ah bit steep on price( bout 1800) but its kinda bess on d market right now.. if u lookin for a cheap/er way, wel i hav b13 shock/spring in front( springs cut bout 1&1/2 coils, shock threaded to about 2 inches... b14 in the back, one coil was cut an the shock threaded 1&1/2 inches.

one of the cheapest mods to get that slammed look is to remove d wheels, it real easy to do once u have a jack and spanner.

what suspex does is is cut off d saucer den thread down yuh shocks or cut d part where it bolting to yuh wheels and drop dat.he drop ah padna almera and d thing riding good but after a while whatever bushings he use making alot of noise.

dropped a 14 by heating the original springs on vehicle. it slowly dropped and when the desired height was reached it was rapid cooled and stayed at that height. this is much better than cutting springs since the full tension of the original springs did not change.the ride is original

^^^that adversely affects the mechanical properties of the steel the spring is made up of.. its likely to break. be careful with that.

akachin · Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 9:38 pm Post subject:

yes this does affect the mechanical properties. This method is called hardening and it is used on metals and the result is a harder material. With all metals the harder it becomes the more brittle it becomes but not in the plane of motion ie: the up and down motion of the spring. This means that you won't have to worry about the spring breaking.
