Need help, cutting springs in my winter beater, K Car!
Im done with my K Car and dont care about it whut so ever.. I would never do this to my ROC... But the K Car means nothing to me.... It was either, paint flames on it and slam it, than drive it around as a joke, or use it as a field car and wreck it.... The car drives nice and isnt too bad looking so I wanna keep it as a joke... Im painting flames on it which is no problem... But as for cutting the springs, I know not to heat them, and cut about a 1/4 at a time... But whut all do I have to do to get them out? Im not familiar with K Cars.... Do I really need spring compressors or is there another way? Also I heard about jacking up the control arm? Can someone explain to me how to do this... Its ok if it drives like hell and u feel every bump, as long as its slammed... I wanna slam it so that im almost dragging frame... The car is a complete joke the way to is now, this will just add some more detail... Right now I have those chrome 5 star hubcaps on it... With a sticker that says "Dont Laugh, My Other Ride is Yer Gurl" and it has 2 12 inch Pioneer Lethals in it... People honk and laugh all the time but I want it to be even better.... So could someone explain the steps to cutting the springs... Thanks alot.... All help is greatly appreciated...

I have no clue whut they are in the front.... If they are coil over struts, than is the cutting springs deal out of the question? Im not a suspension guy, so I have no clue.....
If so, i'll slam the *** end to the ground and leave the front up... Look like I have air ride... LMAO!
