please.. i thought you guys were smart.. theres a way to remove your spring without using a spring compressor and its not dangerous whatsoever.. i'll let you guys figure that one out..

cutting your springs isnt that bad.. its mostly wear on your shocks thats the problems.. to keep it simple, its generally the bounce of the spring that helps maintain the shock.. now if you were to cut the spring, the bounce is the same (in theory) but the spring is shortened.. it really isnt bad, just dont plan on staying on it forever..

Looks like a fun spot. I drove through Brandon on a cross sountry trip. I still owe for a speeding ticket 2 years later.

A good suspension will make that spot even better.

like the car, airstrip looks mad fun! i miss my window tint i hate nc laws tint really does make hatchs look sexxy as well as most other vehicles i think. im surprised to see such support for cuttin springs i remember seein a lot of people tryin to persuade people against the idea in the past on this forum. ultimately its up to ya.. i almost cut mine, but i went with sportlines/kyb's for now. im happy for the time bein. if i had a place to actually drive my car more aggresively in my area to where the performance difference would matter i would have prob. waited for coilovers to begin with for that reason, but since i dont figured it wouldnt be necesarry at the moment. still gets sideways plenty easy for me. looks like ur car and the skyline get along good with each other thats always cool. nice paint too btw

It's nice that they allow you to drift out there. For one, it gives a safer environment to do so as to doing it on the street. And you don't have to worry about curbs.

I mounted some stock rims with some used tires form work for me and my bud with the skyline last night, and even tho we are goign to the track today we couldn't help drifting the streets! Curbs and the chance of getting caught just add to the fun...even tho I know its wrong.
