cutting coil springs.
ive got a old chrysler mini van ive been messing around with. i want to lower it with out spending anymoney. so i was wondering would it hurt the drivability by doing this to it. i know it makes it bouncy and ride like ass.
Cutting your springs will increase your spring rate so it'll definitely be harder on your shocks. There's really no way to avoid that. But when they blow you can replace them with something stronger and hope they last a little longer.
As far as the ride is concerned you should be okay as long as you don't get too crazy when you cut the springs. It'll definitely be harder than stock but I can imagine an old Chrysler minivan could get by just fine with a little extra firmness.
Cut them evenly and do it a little at a time. As long as you're not removing too much at once you don't have to get it right the first time. No sense in slamming it right off the bat.
