Cutting springs to lower car

T-Bone · 04-06-2000, 12:51 PM

hmmm...I'm a little confused.I posted the car lean ordeal a couple months ago and got several replies from people who have experienced this, and it was the springs. Now I have two people telling me its the struts. Any way I can find out, besides just replacing one or the other and seeing if the problem goes away? I thought I'd go with the springs since I want to lower the car a little anyway. Theres way too much clearance in the fenderwell for my liking. Don't get me wrong. I don't want a low rider or anything like that. Just lower. After putting the same post on the "Late Model Tech" board and getting several replies suggesting not to do any cutting, I've decided against that idea. I was just trying to get away with getting a new set of shocks and going lower at the same time for a fraction of the price of aftermarket springs.
Thanks for any advice!
