- So after we installed the 'lowering springs' in the last video and they sat HIGHER than the stock springs, we said we would cut the springs/chop the springs. So I am a man of my word.. we cut the springs haha!

Finally the old lockwood is back these are the vids I miss keep them coming great content #greenjackettime
"I know the guy that owns the roundabout😂😂😂
This type of video is what got me onto this channel. More of this please, Lee
Lee the king of botched jobs
it's funny cause my name is lee and I'm cutting my stocks
Brings back memories. I did this on my RSTurbo back in the 90s 😁 Kept taking bit more off till it was very low. Neons didn't last long lol.
I drilled a hole in the spring seats and twisted some steel wire around the spring to keep them in place 👍
"Just gona seeeend ittttttt" in the camp voice!!!!!
BRILLAINT LEE !!! 🤣
I read your comment as he said that. I’m scared now...
Sam Bromley im not joking but same wth, im not messing around
That's what cable ties are for 🤣 🤣 🤣
Loving these sort of videos lee, keep them coming mate 👍🏻
loving these vids lee!
Currently 2:45 am just spat my drink everywhere 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes lee! Sick video! I'm the guy in the Red GT86 that was at every meet with you this weekend g
Nice to meet you and thanks for teaching me how to do a burnout
I've drilled holes in the bottom and top of shocks before where the spring sits when I've had short springs and put jubilee clips through to hold the spring in place,A lot better and stronger than cable ties 👍
so what youre saying is you cut holes for the spring to go through then put jubilee on both sides to hold them in place. am i right? sounds creative and wanna do something similar on mine
@@lanpod yeh,that's pretty much what I did 👍
@@ASH.......................1976 wouldnt think you would answer 2 years later haha, and so pretty much you didnt even cut the springs right? looking forward into doing this
@@lanpod I didn't realise it had been that long 😆 ,but no,I didn't cut the springs they were very low ,just the holes in the shocker cup so I could put the clips through ,if my memory serves me right 👍
When you cut springs with a grinder the heat created from the cut releases the spring load. So when you want to cut a spring have a hose running on the section you want to cut and cut bit by bit. You don’t want the metal of the spring to get very hot. That’s the aim and you will see that the spring will not be bouncy when you drive
Just wrap a wet shop towel or 2 around it, will do fine.
The spring shouldn't get hot enough to collapse from a grinder. Especially if you don't have any weight on the spring.
Thanks for this video Lee, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time :)
ha ha ha ha ha..... that was mega 😂 loved the video pal, driveway classic. You madman 😜
Going to wash the car, NO you mean had to get the jet wash out to wash the rubber away off the drive at 12:43 after getting told off 😂😂
Must admit, I done a similar thing years ago on my Vectra gsi. I had a 40mm kit, then cut 2 coils off all of them. God damn it was perfect. But that was with the struts for lowering springs i.e the bottom platform was higher.
Love it 😂 brilliant content buddy ✌🏻
Gordon the legend is out again, love that lad 👍 !
Put a few jubilee clips around the springs to hold them in.
Best types of videos 💯💯
I want a drift project car so bad now, she's looking so good and you haven't even really done much. Can't wait to see it in the future, hopefully it stays
Just been round a private roundabout “actually know the guy that owns it” 😂😂
Haha "still gunna send itttttt" brilliant 👌👍
I always cut my springs I think it came really good it looks fantastic did a good job 👍👍👍👍👍
Was class to see you skidding at 3 sisters yesterday 😂
Private roundabout I know the guy who owns it hahahaha. Brilliant mate
So did you cut 2 coils off the front and 2 off the rears?
Glad the vids working now 😂 is200 looks quite good
Love watching your videos mate your the best
I Really in enjoyed watching the Amazing Cutting The Springs on the IS200 Good Content
Ah yes. I too know the guy who owns my local roundabouts 😂 love that!
Haha always wanted to do this but never had a car I don't care about enough 🤣🤣 bossed it mate 💪
I’ve never laughed so much 😂
That's a nice is200 I sure hope your car is riding smoothly
my first 6 cars over 12 years were all cut springs, and ive got a c2 vts now id cut but the coils are a silly shape
Brilliant video. Back to your best mate .
I welded mine in place when they got chopped alot safe and if using allt of weld will never fall out good vid mate
Yeah i welded my snapped spring other week, held up fine till i got my new set lol
Keep er lit Lockwood
Yo how long have you had cut springs for
Don't hit he the thread/stud at all, hit the bit of the hub it goes through, all ya gotta do is shock it out. Good vid lad.
If you hit the side of where the track rod end sits it should come out without damaging it.
millions times better content. Everyone likes a bodge job that works
Know the guy who owns the roundabout 👌🏻😉😂😂
If u change ur mind get tenzo r springs of ebay 55mm.. Cheap and good and sit low enough on these.. Had 1 before
He should start doing tutorials this is just legendary 😂
Old lee is back driveway cowboys missed these videos
OMG, hi Lee, I'm still on your free channel where I first watched you. I'm so glad you have got your old self back and making, funny but true, don't give a F videos. It's a mad world at the moment but people like you, and every second recorded, Just might be the missing piece of the game of our future. OR WE WILL JUST KEEP HAVING A BEER SAYING FUCK IT, Very well presented Mr Lockwood. 😉😉😉😉💯💯💯💯🍺🤘🤘🤘
we used to tack the spring at the bottom of the strut or use some jubilee clips lol
Absolutely loving it mate!! That's my style of working on a car haha
Don't have to hit the threads to pop a ball joint mate. Next time just lump hammer the ball joint housing. Don't have to hit it out/through just hit the housing to shock it loose.
Looking sweet mate 👌
Lee - *Do not do this at home!*
Me - *MUMMMMMM IM CUTTING THE SPRINGS ON YOUR 1 SERIES!*
Sick vid man once again bro 👌 ur the man keep up the grt vids fuckin awesome 👌 🏴
To try and get the springs to stay in the shocks on full droop, loosen and tighten the suspesion arms when the suspension is compressed. The tension of the bushes on full droop might be enough to compress the shock slightly
Did this pass mot with cut springs
Even though I’m watching this a year later😂, you should leave it like that🤣🔥
Good vid mate
I was drinking last night I got the rear lowering springs I bought installed on my new infiniti g37s but was getting more tired and more drunk so I didn't want to work on the car any longer but wanted to see it sitting nice so I installed the rear lowering springs and cut the front stock coils lol. Now that it's all together I don't want to touch it I'll prob pay a mechanic to stay install the fronts I just wanted to see it sitting pretty I'm to lazy to continue.
Yes lad🔥🔥🔥
If you need to separate a ball joint. Hit what it goes through. Don't hit the threads even with a nut on the end. So for example if the ball joint is part of the lower arm and it goes through the hub. Hit the hub on the side of the part the ball joint taper goes through. Will save you a load of hassle.
Doesent matter unless your gonna re use it
That's perfect height 👌 Well done 😉 Send iiiit 😂
I honestly thought these days where defo behind you.. drift slag ftw
get a welder and "attatch" the top of the spring to to the mount perfect seat every time :P
Genuinely like that. Made me search autotrader now😂
"we need more lowss" "send itt" 😂😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
best reaction video ever ure dads face lmfa off lee mate fkn love it
If Lee could enter his own giveaway for the coil overs I feel like he definitely would at this point 😂
100%
Proper lowering like me n my mates did late 90s early noughts 😂
On wit vid.....
I remember the first time I cut springs, never again, way too bouncy and crashy, it’s only £40 a spring for custom length, diameter and stiffness, not many people know that lol
Gospel in the name of lee "thy job is not bodged, if it fucking works"
😂😂😂😂😂Bang on that
Just weld the spring to the strut problem solved 🤣 because #sendit and use a hockey puck as a bumpstop 🤤
You need to cut the bump stops what sits in the middle of the shock because when it closes the bottom shock is going to hit the bottom of the bump stops
Might need to get a dodgy mot next time now mate 😂
😂😂😂😂seeeend iiiiiit🤪
Stop trying to nick my "bodgit and scarper" crown haha.
I was always told its better to cut standard springs than lowered ones.
youtuber gives it all up to be come a jipoo haha
Much better lee
Just drill a small hole on the spring seat and zip tie the spring on the right place
Little tip Lee, when you're hammering out a balljoint or track rod end hit what ever it goes through (hub or bottom arm) side on and it will shock it free... Trust me I'm a mechanic 🤙
I try that but it usually never works and i just end up reshaping the bloody metal 😂
@@itsleelockwood bigger hammer 😂
Would you recommend cutting springs to lower down the ride?
prob not
did u just do a jesse "what do you mean!"
Can you not drill a hole in the spring Seat and zip tie the spring
STILL GUNNA SEND ITTTTTTTTT
i once took all the spings completely off my old mk2 mondeo.. looked fucking wicked just drove like shite lol
If your gonna whack out a track rod end it the side of it not the top where the thread is 🤟
Sure it’s probably been said a million times but cable tie the spring to the seat 🤙🏻
Wee bit of pre-wiggle on that pal.
Old school mod that 😂
Jet wash them wheel wells 🙏🏼
This is a perfect demonstration what really happens when you cut them. How bad is it? How long can you run it this way? many questions to answer and From my experience years and years ago not worth it for long term. You will bend a shock or place a wide strain as it can not hold that much pressure since its not designed to do so so yes ride will be like crap and will fell like you are sitting on a sensitive spring and bunch like one. Let me tell ya a lot of bouncing and could win a bouncing championship.
and I did it on my stock suspension so this is a little different
😂 All it needs is is a cb areal and a straight pipe
Hilarious love it .
Looks so much better lower .
Front looks alright but the back looks daft ahahah. Cutting springs nutter ahahaha I wanted to-do mine buy....rather not I paid £180 for some low springs aha
That’s better 👏
I know a guy who owns a roundabout 👀
Try a copper hammer my guy never mash up treads again I use a number 2 👊🏻
Never want to cut that many springs off at one time always cut a quarter of one off at a time
Lee my guy I miss the yeeee eee lads intro hahaha, sick video man 👌
