Tbh bro I’m not sure yet because this first time doing it to the car, but on a lot of my other cars I’ve done it to. It never affected anything. When I get done lowering it more I took it back to get alignment to make sure i don’t go thru more tires. It never seemed to mess up anything bro. I’ve been doing it for awhile now and ima keep doing with lowering springs that are just not low Enough.
This is real dumb and unsafe the springs came a certain way for a reason they were engineered that and way not to be cut by want to be mechanic hot boys. is too much compression, too fast. Stock springs are often soft, and removing length will allow them to compress too far. Shocks/struts not meant for lowering will be too soft for the short range of spring travel and will be too long. Now you've got suspension with a high propensity to bottom-out and dampers working well out of their range of efficiency. If the dampers can't control the up and down movement of the springs, the car will bounce. You increase the risk of bottoming out and breaking your shocks. Please don’t promote this bs, I rather get cheap ahh set of maxpeeding rods coilovers for less than $400 shipped to you then screw a car “ you care about” up.
Is it really unsafe? If people out there driving around on factory springs that are 20years old and already clapped out. I know alot of wanna be mechanic hot bois that went to school for years and are well over ase certified and will still cut theirs springs. I also grew up in a neighborhood where we didn’t have the money to go buy the right stuff/equipment but we managed to Still get the job done. I understand how springs work and I’ve done it before ima do it again. I’m not against cutting springs 😄.
@@mattsauto6462 dude a pair of coil overs is less than $300 for that thing just pop them on and leave that cutting alone that is a half job for half assed results.
@@mattsauto6462 forget those people ridding like that they don’t care about there ride or safety that’s why they drive like that. You sure you know how springs work? Cause cutting that metal most definitely changed it’s composition & integrity slightly from the Heat of being cut thereby weaking it. I mean honestly if you’d knew better you’d do better. Yo trust I get not having money but all you doing is increasing your chances of spending more money if you get what I’m saying.
@@mattsauto6462 people hate on cut springs 😂 shit I’ve had all cut springs on all my mustangs never had an issue and I’m going to keep on cutting all the springs I can. Great job great video
@@mattsauto6462 how many rings are cut for the front and back on stock springs? Mine of course is a bit higher in the rear so i assume you remove more in the rear then in front
@@tonykung286 they have preload for a certain weight and when you cut a spring loop off it changes that and makes it a lot less strong and comfortable.
@@mattsauto6462 it's not just how the car rides it's the over reliability of the suspension components but cutting the springs your ruining the spring rate the were set to perform. This straight your suspension components even more than lowering it with the proper mods. While lowering a car in general will put more strain and wear and tear on suspension complements cutting your springs will put more than double that because it's not designed to function in that way.
Are the front also cut? And hows the ride quality overall? Does it drive smooth?
I recently jus got springs myself an I was thinking about doin what you jus did lol thanks for doin it for me 💯 I’m definitely hopping on it now
Hellyea bro because I feel like the lowering springs wasn’t low enough lol. And they actually ride the same exact way.
@@mattsauto6462 a was good bro I have a question will this affect something on the long run

Your charger is everything 😭🔥
I appreciate you my bro🙏🏽🤞🏾
Good stuff! I want to do this to mine too. Looks good 👍

How many loops did you cut on stock springs ? Looks dope asf man
It was 2 loops bro. And appreciate it man
Did u ever cut front springs and if so how man loops did u cut?
1 loop off the front since the front holds a lot more weight. You don’t wanna cut too much off of it.
Can you do alignment after you cut the springs ? Thank you
You don’t need to, but you can just to make sure you don’t have any uneven tire wear.
That's how you do it, I like it👍👊
I appreciate that homie 💯💯
How does it ride? Bumpy? Or is it still the same?
Ride the same, I never noticed any change in ride quality.
When you cut the shock absorbers after you put everything on, I didn’t jump much on the road.
No it was not bouncy or anything, it felt just like normal
Nice content! Should post more of the charger!!
Are those the Eibach springs or the BMR?
It was some cheap eBay springs that they no longer sell
Did you notice a difference with driving when you cut it. Thinking about doing it
Yea it drove just the same but actually a lil better because it felt stiffer in the rear.
And did you paint your car yourself. It’s look good
How does it ride and how does it ride over bumps and imperfections in the road
It actually rides a little smoother because it’s less bouncy and more stiffer track feel.
Why did it take many hours later?
Doing it lil by lil on lunch breaks and not with the knowledge I have today it should only take about 2 hours
Did your charger come in that color or did you paint it. If so what color is that.
I got it painted this color and it’s called destroyer gray,
@@mattsauto6462 hell yeah looks amazing bro. I’m tired of the color on my charger its metallic silver.
Thank you bro I appreciate it alot
Yo bro I’m thinking about doing this a bit because imma have 22s and I want no space should I do it or nahh
With 22s if you use a skinny tire it will fit nice but it the tires real thick then you might wanna keep a lil gap because it will rub.
came out nice.
Appreciate that
Can I do this to my 08 awd rt?
Yes you can the rear cradle is the exact same. Up front will be a lil bit more difficult
Can I do the same thing on the front springs?
Yes you can, it’s takes a lil bit more work. But once you take the springs off of the strut then just cut a look off of them.
Great content
Thank you bro
Looks good dawg👍🏼👏🏼
Thank ya bruda 🙏🏽
Doing this wont make the car bounce right?
Mines still don’t bounce
Any updates on how your car rides now ? Does it bounce or have camber on any tire?
I have a tiny bit of camber wear but no bouncy and drives great
That was my concern as well. Glad it turned out the way you wanted it. Enjoy the ride.
I just installed eibach lowering spring on my. 2007 300c
And i just did the same... I cut 1 loop... Honestly im gonna cut one more.... Still not even😤
My point exactly some times it needs a lil bit of touch to them
- you should get it wrapped 🥶
Brooo ive been thinking hard about that man 🔥🔥
- Ik you gotta couple ideas 🤷🏿♂️🤣
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
💯🙏🏽
I have too many questions
How much you lowered it bro?
I did 3 inches up front and 4inches in the back
@@mattsauto6462 looks good mate
how much the paint job cost
That was a 500$ paint job
@@mattsauto6462 dammm for 500$ that aint bad
Should’ve just bought adjustable coil overs
If I had wanted to I could of, but I’ve already had coilovers on another charger. And I like the way the lower springs ride a little stiffer
🔥
🙏🏽🙏🏽
You cut at bottom right not at top
Yessir the flatter side of the springs
For the idiots who are trashing this video and cutting springs, go watch Detroit Eaton Springs' video on how to cut your springs. "Great video".
Thank you 💯🙏🏼
Could you do this on the stock springs ?
Yessir I’ve done it myself a couple times
@@mattsauto6462 how will it ride if I do it with stock ones?
@@capo5582 it rode pretty good tbh man, When I cut my stock ones I had to take off 4 loops and it still rode pretty stiff and not very bouncy
@@mattsauto6462 how many rings are cut for the front and back on stock springs? Mine of course is a bit higher in the rear so i assume you remove more in the rear then in front
Just buy lowering springs or coilovers smh
👍🔥
Thx 🙏🏽
Don't cut your springs people
If you do it right and don’t apply to much heat to the spring while cutting it and it will be fine.
@@mattsauto6462 I dont think you understand how springs for automotive aspects work.
@@tonykung286 they have preload for a certain weight and when you cut a spring loop off it changes that and makes it a lot less strong and comfortable.
