      Why would you cut springs? Nothing screams "ricer" more then a cheap job done on a car... I'm not trying to sound like a dick, but that can really mess up your suspension! Cutting springs really isn't safe and if you aren't careful you could be on the fast track to ruining your struts and springs. Get some Eibach/H&R springs on there and do your car a favor! The performance upgrade is worth the cost.

      I've been on cut stock springs for 20k miles, while I never planned on being on them this long, but financial problems changed that. Either way, Since I switched to KYB's I havent had any problems, just a little extra wear and tear, but I'm doing fine, either way can't wait to get coils....now if only my sponsors and donations would come through for me lol

      my advise is look how the springs are in there with load.. I typically only cut the dead coils. (ie ones touching one another under load).
