I'm new and want to show my car =)

i just have to ask, how do you guy on here measure when lowering?

because that is not four inches lower than stock?

[thehunterooo]

doesnt even look lowered

unless it was raised up

[Corey]

lol well it had some huge ol' tires on it so that raised it about an inch and then I cut an inch and a half off the springs, I'm about to cut another inch and a half off the front and 2 inches off the back

[petrified.rabbit]

you dont cut inches off springs, you cut coils. i am just trying to help you here.

and tires don't lower a car. because even though a smaller tire makes the car lower clearance wise, it widens the wheel gap.

now how much of the spring did you cut? i would say you need to cut on full coil at least, that would be a full circle or one time around.

[Corey]

Yeah I know you cut coils but I was just saying inch to clarify the height difference. I cut a coil out already on the front, to give it a rake lowered look... But it's not enough... Aveo's are seriously on stilts stock! So I'm gonna cut another coil and a half out of the front, and 2 coils out of the back....

That's a lot to cut out of an aftermarket spring. I would not recommend this.

[Nemasys]

Yeah man dont cut more then 2 off an aftermarket coil, i have exactly 2 coils cut on each of my apex springs and it rubs, maybe due to the bigger engine but regardless ill need to buy another set and only cut 1 coil off to stop it from rubbing

[thehunterooo]

it would be interesting to see the weights of both the 2.0 and the 1.6
