thats rite... just cuz it looks good doesnt mean it is good. i can understand cutting springs to find out how low you want it but to drive on them as a means of daily transportation is something else. your suspension could not have gotten stiffer suspension by cutting your springs.that alone is common logic...Originally posted by Gro Harlem:
I'm not even going to comment. So many people here don't listen to anything anyone says, and still continue to want to "cut my springs".
Most of MX-3.com = All show, no go
Umm, yes it could. Look at the formula for spring rate.Originally posted by Steeb:

I disagreeOriginally posted by Steeb:
having less springs for same weight... ok yes stock progressive rate springs get stiffer as you compress them but with less spring they compress faster given the weight sitting on top of them is still the same. my point is even if it is stiffer your going to bust a hole in the bottom of your struts one day...
I do agree.bottom line, cut springs will not make your suspension better in anyway besides visually
Sure it's a good idea.Originally posted by Sam Baker:
anywayz, just thot i'd add that. one more question tho, to those who have done the zx2 conversion.. have you had any problems? and how hard was it? cuz i'll be doing that within a week or 2 and will drill out stock strut mounts to fit. good idea or no? thanx a lot

coilovers are not what you want. perhaps some springs and kyb struts would be more suited to your taste if all u want is to be lowered.Originally posted by steven92:
hello.
well about 7 months ago i lowered my car by cutting the springs 2.5 turns because i was bored and with 18" wheels it looks great! however, the only good thing i got from it was that all the chicks that got in my car had their **** bouncing, but now i am tired of the way the car feels (bouncing all the time) and anything will feel better than what i have right now. Does any one know about some coilovers that will work for an mx·3. please let me know cus my butt hurts alot already. oh and i hope that the one that posted this does not get mad at me for asking, Thanks a lot.
