If you go too extreme with suspension (like those saudi accords you see from time to time), then you better change other parts as well, and not just the springs... other parts being wishbones, tension rods, ....
If you make your lowering a bit modest, then i don't see much issues with it..

depends how big your finger iskingkenny wrote:thanks ! i am lower my car like 2 finger , don't you think it will be problem to me !!
But if it causes a problem with your suspension.. you should go to the doctor, you have very fat fingers then
2 fingers is hardly anything.. i was more referring to those Saudi Honda Mow Lawners (sp?), or those slammed SUV's

didnt see him online for some time
kenny .. lower ur ride ... HOW ??
heat the springs .. cheap work, very dangerous n usually screws the car
cut the springs .. cheap work, dangerous, also screws the car
or performance lowering springs ... expensive but worth
I SUGGEST THE THIRD .. coz its the best n a one time expense which wont screw other parts related ...
heating n cutting ur springs jus work for a month or further ... but then u hear strange noises n its very uncomfortable n yeah ur suspensions dont work 100% their ability ...

i have some true experience about it !!
heat the spring , that is my frist time i low my car , if the work is fine , you can run a year without problem .after a year ,YES! you may hear some weird sound(strange noises) like 'pa,pa' coming from the spring !
cause you know this is my frist time , i don't really know what happen so i
try to replace it many time , i really not remember well ,7 might be 8 times , like i change the spring and i start cut it .....again and again....terrible experience !!
then i found out that , the problem is coming from the rear shock absorber ! you can check it , frist take it out and push it , from the good one it should be tight ! so i buy 2 new shock to the rear , and it is fine now !!
the front is still work good , just the rear and i will keep an eye on it .
if i have any problem , i let you guys know !!
i know it is a cheap work , but you know when i doing it and i don't know where to find auto part ,and don't know the interent thing , i am alone in this uae , no friend and no family , i can ask no one to help !! SO i ask myself ' WHY NOT ? ' , since many one doing it !!
hey Kenny !! dont think that ur alone in this country ... i agree with Neo .. heating springs is really a bad idea .. but cutting ? it depends on the quality of work .... i have a friend with a 2004 accord and he lowered it thru cutting the springs ... its smooth when ur riding inside .. and hes the one who helped me out when some shop cut my car springs and heated it ... coz i wasnt satiffied with the height .. they heated it and the car was a mess .. it runs like ur riding on a kangaroo .. then i called my Local friend to use hes influence and also to be able to talk arabic and tell them want i want fpr my car ... we went to this shop in sharjah wer he lowered hes accord .. he juz said "u better make it good" ... came back afternoon .. and i was satisfied with the height and stability of the ride ... sometimes it helps when u have a local friend talkin to those shops ... really a big help
