Oh the good ole days of... waking up at 9AM and going to the labs until 9 or 10PM...
...wait, I have more free time now, why am I complaining? :laugh: I still miss colllege, I would much rather be there doing 12-14 hour days than here doing 10 hour days.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I was brain storming on how to lower my VW on a budget (ie: free), and I came up with the idea of compressing a few of the coils and welding them together. That would lower it and not be cutting the springs so I don't know if it would destroy the ride quality that is already on par or worse then the Jeep. How many of you would kick me in the nuts for this?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
The problem with doing something like that is the same issue you would have if you just heated the coils while they were on the vehicle.. It does not address your camber angle and can result in all sorts of facked up tires and geometries. Unless I am forgetting something here....

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
just lower it for real, those welds are gonna see some serious stresses, and usually they heat from the welding will screw something up, and if a weld breaks while driving i can see that not being good
your gonna kick yourself for doin it bootyfab style

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
that's really really really not safe. welding springs is never good. springs are the same metallic content throughout. when you weld, you introduce a funky combination of heat treatment and dissimilar metals. and the weld is basically way stiffer than the surrounding spring and will crack. don't do it :twak:
my mkV gti has vogtlands with konig adjustable struts. rides nice.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
and besides... VW's are all about doing things right and making it clean. welding coils on a VW would be like treating it like a jeep.
however... cutting them does not cause them to crack. just sayin :angel:
