Default what should i buy?

i want to lower my car and was wondering what is the best spring cutter i can buy, or will my dremel with a grinder tip work just fine?

i kid... but i am broke because i just bought a little over priced condo, and i want to lower my car. so here are the options i came up with; Function and Form coilovers for $1100, buddyclub n+ coils for $1000, or swift springs for $275.

I dont plan on tracking, i just want the car to look more aggressive but still do alright when playing in the hills from time to time. obviously coils are better than springs, but are coils more than i need? if i went with just springs i could afford a fujita or comptech intake, a header, and get my front lip repainted... or maybe something else, i dont really care for intake either really. i also figured that since there is a chance my shocks will go out one day if i buy just springs i can just wait for that day and buy koni yellows when that day comes.

thoughts? or any suggestions? im looking to spend about $1300 on the S this go around.

cutting springs is the worst thing you can do

makes your ride bumpy as hell. and its hell on your shocks

terrible, ricey, ghetto way to lower a car

can you elaborate on this some more? i thought all springs come from the dealer a bit long for shipping reasons and you are supposed to cut them to bring them to the intended height... i have cut the springs on every car i have owned including my jeep wrangler.

Swift Spec-R's for the aggressive drop. If you don't track your car, you're never going to need coilovers.

spend your money elsewhere
