Subarocket Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I've picked up some Tempo front springs and Accord rear springs for my 92 Loyale. I've got a lift kit and plan on cutting the accord sprigs so I'm not doubling up on the lift. When you cut the accord springs I've heard that you cut a coil and a half off to retain stock length. Do you cut off the bottom or the top? Do you have to worry about not having the full coil that sits flat? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I always cut the tops of the springs. With the Accord springs, you could also cut the top. I would rather have it seat flush in the perch of the strut. By the way, the accord springs sit perfect in the EA82 rear struts. I didn't cut mine, and now need to run a 5" kit in the front to make the car sit level (More lift the better!) -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibreakstuff Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 +1 always from the top, the top mount has a better fit for a cut spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusgl10z28 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I never cut mine... my kit got biult arount the 2 inches over so I run a 6" out rear and a 7.5 up front.. rear sits a little higher thus eliminating sag w a load 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I never cut the Accord's front coil springs, when I used them along the original Subaru rear shock absorbers with flat base; Nor when I use them with the 4Runner shock absorbers with non-flat base; they work really Awesome like they are from factory.
