[Bodge!]

cutting springs is stupidly dangerous.

give your mate a slap and tell him to get some proper springs for god sake!

[ben24]

sounds fair

 

[chauster]

go tell him to do it and report back to us on what an amazing idea it is to do it NOT, im sure you can pick up even second springs for less than 100 quid is it really worth someones live for the sake of 100 bucks ????

 

[MT AUDIO]

tell your mate to post up before cutting springs,after and when he bins it cos the springs fucked up completely

Same thing happened years ago to a mate of a mate, he had a mk3 escort with an rst engine in it. He'd lowered it into the ground, he was booting it over a fly over, the car lifted, the springs popped out, when he landed the car was on the floor :lolup:
