SO my only day off this week and thought i would spross up my front end. s13 adjustable camper tops and rear c210 springs to be cut down to size.

pulled the wheels off, both struts out. borrowed a file from my neighbour and made the holes bigger to fit in the strut top and then i go to put it all back together and remember i lent my spring compressors to a mate months ago! and to top it off he's not answering his phone.

so maybe my car will have to stay like this until he gets back to me...




also, admire my workshop, i know you're all jealous!

just cut the springs down with your file:[ they look like they still quite long.

haha. how many coils should i cut off before i even put them in the car? and dont worrry, i have an oversize angle grinder for some fun :P

id just cut em enough so they are just captive.no compressor needed then,then i would cut another three off and slam it on the ground ha

could be the best advice ive had on here yet!

extend the strut out as far as it will go then cut the spring to that length,cut the top of the spring so the bottom sits nice on the perch.after you find the size, cable or wire tie them in,normally u lose travel with camber tops so it harder to get more low.

cheers man. i'll let you know how i go

JOB DONE!

i just winged it with the springs and it was perfect. no compressors needed :P thanks greendog for pointing this out and me in the right direction.

three days till i depart the state on the spirit and im almost ready :)
