EdgeRacer Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I plan on lowering my Edge but by using Lowering spring. It being FWD really wont make a deal in lowering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnfocusedEdge Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Cutting spring is very dangerous. It can make the vehicle very unstable. Lowering spring are designed to be safe. They have a stiffer spring rate because they are smaller. You should buy new spring right away if you cut yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I responded to a wreck on the highway about two years ago when a kid in his lowered (cut springs) car got loose on the road sending his car into a spin and then several rolls. Unbelted front passenger killed the driver as he was flying about the front of the cabin. After several weeks of accident reconstruction, and eye witness statements including the rear seat survivor they figured out why the car got unstable and crashed ( it was a 1 car accident). Don't cut your springs, you're creating a 4500lb death missile. Your vehicle was engineered to high technical standards by a lot of guys smarter than me and you, don't kid yourself thinking you know more than them. Be safe, save up for lowered springs and do it right. Edited November 4, 2012 by Edgieguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
