this thread makes me wanna drop the gt even more.... lol
So there has been some mixed answers in this thread. Do we not cut the flat part?
1 Full coil no iso.
1 Full coil no iso.
cut from bottom or top? you on 18's? pics?
see sig, full coil rear and little over 3/4 front with front top iso removed, dont ask long story. Also do not cut flat part of spring! GL op I think it took me about a 6 pack, but I also redid the front since I was wanting a slight rake look.
Your car looks ****ing sick.
a grinder? that seems like it 'd take way too long
Did anyone else use something else to cut their springs?
Use a cut off wheel/zip cut on a 5" grinder. Will cut a coil spring in less then a min. Wear eye protection though, if you don't know what you are doing with one you will most likely blow up a few discs and they can be deadly.
You cut the bottom on the front springs and the top on the rear springs. Do not cut from the flat part.
thanks bro but damn so does yours:beer: Do you have the 3/8 spacer on the rear?
stock Bullitt springs cut 1 1/8 coil on the front, 1 coil on the rear. with ISO's
Yep, 3/8" out back.
Cut the pig tail guys(which is the bottom side), not the flat part. Note where the pig tail sits when you remove the spring and re-install in the same position. If you just put it in any old way your ride height is going to vary from side to side.
I use to have that too until a friend was helping me work on my car and thought it would make a good base to hammer on:nonono: I think I should get some again. Just a nice little touch:beer:
All the pics/info you could want is in my sig. Non Cobra guys should not be cutting springs, well at least more than 1/2 coil. Stock GT springs are not linear meaning over time the spring will lose its compression characterstics. Unlike linear springs which stay the same throughout. Do not cut the flattened part of the spring!!

my car sits lower than yours already.. im trying to go lower.. im thinking 1 1/4 up front and 1 in the rear.
where i want her to sit
How do you even drive the streets as it sits now?
Ya your front and rear end is lighter than 03/04's so youll want to cut more. Always cut less first, you cant go back if you cut more. It doesnt take long to get the springs back out the 2nd time to cut more. I could probably have the fronts out in 10 mins or lessUsers who are viewing this thread
