You were going to cut springs because it's cheaper.... and then buy those baller parts?

I think this is one of the worst ideas ever when it comes to lowering the car. Do it right the first time. Don't embarrass yourself.

Cutting your springs does not help handling. Why not just drop it with some springs and a good alingment then be done.

If you cut your springs, expect the car to be dangerously bouncy. You are ruining the engineering of the spring.

Any kind of road bump could really ruin your car as they are not as stiff as aftermarket springs.

Why cut them? Just get these!

I wonder just how many people use something like this? I guess people who are too broke to buy springs and too lazy to cut the stocks! lol
