Hi fellows, I had an accident 3 months ago, the thing is that now I repaired everything only one thing missing.. ok I lowered my car by cutting the spring (please no comment about wut I did please) , the thing is that the car now is really low, but when I get to the road it feels EXACTLY as when struts die (the car jumps a lot and any hole in the road you feel it in your A$$
 ) can some one help me please?? maybe the reason could be that because the car is very low, the struts are not doing their work?? could I fix that by cutting the struts on the top ??? please help me , I dont have too much money to spend so "please do not tell me to get coilover or wut ever please" 
-------------------- !! THERE IS NO SPOON !! ............. so?? .... use your HAND!!!!

I keep getting a horrible thump when I go over bumps, and sicne it was this way when i bought the car i dotn know if its supposed to be this way, i have been told recently that the noise i am describing is more than likely related to the struts. I KNOW NOTHING about suspension or anything. I know eventually i want to get it lowered, and I know that i have new tires and I dont want to kill them with horrible alignment from having a bad strut. can anybody help me out and tell me what i should (and want) to replace??? thanks.
