DO NOT CHOP YOUR SPRINGS! peace
Lowering My Scort
Hey is it possible to shave a coil or two off my stock springs to lower it a little. Has anyone done this and does anyone know any cons to doing this???

I´ve done that before with OTHER vehicles, but you just cant do it on a secondgen scort, it all depends on the way the ends of springs were made, and you´ll just wind up with a bunch of junk, or at least a dangerous suspension. gotta buy some that are made to fit. sorry.
i dissagree, i took a link out of each of my springs, on my escort, and it actually seems to ride much better. it i verry eassy, and of course possible. but only do it if you know what you are doing.
No NO NO NO NO!!!!!

Escort springs are weak enough as it is.
Taking a revolution out of the spring will weaken it even more and increase
your chance of snapping the coil.
Trust me, I work on these cars all day long.
