      cut springs are the modifications of retards. spend the money for proper lowering springs.

      That's harsh, if YOU don't know what ur doing, DON'T CUT! I did and it worked fine... Not going to do the same on this one, I want better performance not just a lower ride.

      I cut my stock springs.

      Cut one coil from the front and one from the rear, better ride quality than my H&R's, but the stance wasn't 'right'.
