  • Cutting Springs affecting Drag times?

    If I decided to cut my springs temporarily for the looks will I feel any difference in my car? I know its going to hurt my handling but will it hurt my drag times?

    if it hurts your handling it hurts your ET.
    6s.......under the hood or under the belt, they just dont cut it.

      Your wrong. Drag springs cut your et quite a bit and the totaly kill your handling. Cutting springs will not help you it will make you spin more.

        You really do not want to cut the springs.
        It will change the geometry of the rear suspension.
        Typically people who lower their vehicles should have adjustable trailing arms, pan hard rod, torque arm etc to regain the correct rear angle.
