Willie , Your driving a Deolrean, not a Civic. Cutting a coil spring changes the drop rate , bind rate and pre-compression. I suggest replacing the front springs. David Raine from AT Auto Spring Warehouse in Carneyspoint NJ custom made new front Delorean springs 15% stiffer and 45 mm (1 7/8" US) shorter for under $150.00 US including shipping. Here is his phone number and address. 856-299-9141 DAVID RAINE AT AUTO SPRING WAREHOUSE David Raine 425 harding highway Carneyspoint NJ 08069 Thanks ~Bryn -----Original Message----- From: wmack [mailto:wmack@xxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2001 10:07 AM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Lowering the Front Springs I read in Delorean World that you could lower the front end of simply cutting a couple of coils off of the original springs, rather than buying the new lowered springs. Has anyone had any success with this? and is it reliable?
