hire 3 super fat ppl to ride around with you. If it's not enough hire one more and throw 'em in the trunk.

I think it'd work, but I'm just joking, LOL. ;)

Uhhhh why would u even try not puttin springs, that's so :gay:

Cutting springs, get a bouncy ride plus it would jack your wheels and the whole suspension

Just save $$ for a lowering springs

the only other way i know of is to use metal brackes (like from Home Depot) to clamp around 2 bars of the spring and tighten them together. but thats about as worthwhile as cutting the springs. your best bet after all of that work for a crappy ride is to just save and get lowering springs.

i know people that heat the springs with a torch... this is just as ghetto as cutting the springs and is defintely not recommended.. another option tho..

new springs are only like $150 bucks, so you would be better off buying them instead of spending thousands of dollars to get new struts and springs in the longrun.

so to answer your post alot better

there is no way to lower a car correctly without purchasing springs. there are MANY Ghetto ways of doing it, which will sacrifice handling AND possibly damage parts of your suspension in the long run

Good call. I would actually like to see someone chop the Celica springs. They are tapered, so if they were chopped, they would most likely fall out, and then your f*cked!! ;)
