Okay, there are plenty of people against it and I understand completely. I am completely aware of what spring cutting does to spring rates and this can be used to an advantage,to a point. I am also aware that there are plenty of cheap springs out there, but I am experimenting. Based on the responses here, i am assuming that no one has done what I plan to attempt, and no I dont plan on chopping 2 inches of coils off my springs to drop my car. It might not even be possible to lower the spring perches, so this experiment might come to a close very quickly. Just thought I would run it by everyone for some feedback, and the Haters have spoken.
