Hi all,

I'm thinking to cut the rear springmount to level the front and back with my stock suspension. I know this is easy to do, but I don't have the tools such as C-clamp and hack saw to cut the springmount. Does anybody know where I can get it done for cheap? If can't find any place to do it, I will purchase the tools and do it myself.

Thanks.

 

why would you cut it...why not just buy a lowering kit???

 

People do it to get that .5 inch drop because springs can only drop so much.

 

go to advanced auto parts, if they are cool they have a c-clamp and hack saw their in the back that they will let you use. I took my shocks their yesterday and I was their all day working on them. Let me borrow anything I needed.

 

One way to avoid cutting your spring mounts is to have the proper rear tire size. I don't know your tires, but too many people have too low of a profile on the rear. That's what creates more wheel gap in the rear versus the front.

 

dont forget the giant V-TEC sticker after you hack your z apart

 

Rear spring mount mod is a great way to lower your car 1/2 an inch on the rear without affecting ride quality and changing springs or your spring rate. It's not ricer at all.

 

Truth.

 

+3 please explain why this is in any way rice, before you say it

 

^^^maybe because its a cheap way? most people consider stuff rice if its not brand name and it doesnt break you wallet. i dont, more power to ya im not brave enough to cut anything off my Z mostly because im clumsy

 

I'm planing to get Tein S-Tech springs because I don't want to deal with camber kit. The drops will be .7F and .6R, so I want to cut the springmount to level it out.

Thanks for replies.

 

Explain how to do this spring mount mod. Might be something I want to do for the time being.

 

I just had my Tein S-Techs installed, and the rear is a little bit higher than the front. I will cut the spring mount about 1/4 inch. Here is DIY.
