Killswitch Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) Hey all, I believe I have compressed springs in my parts car KE70 as they don't appear cut at either end, yet the car sits lower and the springs move around a bit when the suspension is at full travel. Are compressed springs considered as dodgy as chopped springs? The only way I can see them falling out is if I launched the car off/over something so in that sense I under stand they'd be safe... But the spring rates would be shot wouldn't they? I'd prefer to have purposely built lowered sports springs but if it means I can save $200 this way then why not? Just curious as to peoples thoughts on this. Heres some pics that I took when initially confused as to the height. I originally thought they were chopped but from looking closer I couldn't tell ;) So I assumed they were compressed as they don't appear aftermarket (based on colour anyway...). Was some shit on the lens so its a bit blurry at the top. Looking up - captive? naaaah! This only happened when I physically jiggled them about though. Edited September 17, 2006 by Killswitch
