On most cars if you cut the springs they will not seat properly. Well the aveo springs only taper on one side, NOT both. That said if you cut straight down you will have no ill side effects.

I got the H&R's in today and wow, much better. If I cut one more coil out of the front totaling 2 front and 1 rear, that would give the same height as the H&R's. If I cut 3 total front and 2 total rear the ride should sit very nice. Similar to the one that has 3 cut front and rear but just a little more hieght in the rear.

This is good for someone who wants a soft ride but a low car.

P.S. If I was a grumpy person, I would smack you through the computer for saying such a blanket (albiet usually true) statement. Please research the spring design and follow that up with road testing (I have had them for 20k) prior to making any more blanket statements.
