There's always gonna be those who bang on about how terrible and unsafe they are. I for one can't be ar$ed arguing with these people any more. Screw 'em. I cut my springs, I don't expect anyone else to if they don't wanna.

I've just received some lowered PI brand springs. They're hillarious - they look worse than the ones i cut! Hey, at least i cut mine straight!  |

PI are legendary for being uber shoddy. A friends car got lower every time i saw it - he had PI springs.

I stopped using that forum - too many trolls just like the Pistonheads general forum and I don't go there either now

Totally Pi are well dodgy, I had Pi springs on my 480 Turbo not only where they not very neat but they were hardly any stiffer. TBH I was not impressed at all and I would advise against Pi. IMO if you need to go for budget spring (or kits for that matter) Jamex are the best, with Gmax a fairly close second although there kits in my experience are mega hard |

i've used cut springs after market springs and cut aftermarket springs never had a problem . the only problem you do get with cut down springs is numptys that only know half the facts telling you its dangerous  |

With you on the Pi springs.
The halfords I used to work at stocked them and when asked about them I went on a twenty minute rant beseeching the lad who was interested in them not to buy them.... because they were wibblepoo. Although I'm not a fan of chopping springs (well I wouldn't chop them, because I don't trust myself) I told the lad to go and do that in preference to buying the Pis .
He bought them anyway and came back and complained the next week because his pug failed the MOT with them on.
He wanted me to refund his money.
No curse word chance.
ABP Motorsport in Crewe whinge that people think they're tossers.
They recommend Pi springs.
Is there a correlation I wonder?
I wonder.
