Hot Springs
 
ive heard of hot springs, where you heat your springs up soo the car sits lower i wondering how bad this is for your car because it seems like it would mess some things up. i am wondering how this procedure is done and how easy it is to perform? and if it is recromended? i am looking for a cheap way to make my car look low, any suggestions would be great thanks ?

Springs are already cheap.

Used springs are even cheaper.



Cutting or heating your stock springs is very bad.

im not sure about heating springs, but if you cut them, when your corner and stuff, your car will have this ugly bounce... heating the springs might have a similar effect. if you can, buy real lowering springs

i think heating your springs would weakin them... and cutting your springs is a definate no no... unless you just wanna dump your beater...

cutting heating springs will get u in enough trouble with the coppers so i wouldn't suggest doin so

yea dont cheap out on your suspension... unless like i said, its a beater... but if your going to cut them be carefull, mto will yank the car off the road..... and if you take the car to any shop and they wanna be assholes, they can say your car aint leaving their shop untill its safe....

honestly if you wanna lower your car, spend the money... you can get cheap lowering springs, or a cheap adjustable kit...
