west_side_supra · 06-05-2007, 12:43 AM

so i was just wondering if you where to cut the spings by maby a coil, would the tems unit go all wacky on you like keep going from sport to super sport or whatever the 3rd stage is all the time. or would just keep working like normal?

No it won't mess up the tems, but cutting your springs is a horrible idea. Lowering springs only cost $200....

I would also get some lowering springs because I know some one who cut their springs on their car about 2 inches and the car was very very hard and super bouncy. if you get some lowering springs then you wont have that problem.

Screw that TEMS, that shits junk. It's 20 years old. I'd get a set of coilovers, thats what I'm planning to buy next.
