dont cut the springs, more important than a crappy looking/ shoddy feeling ride, is the danger factor. cut springs dont act as they should, and the first panic situation you get in, you'll realize that. but by then, it's already too late...

Cut Springs = Ricers Winning Secret. Truth be told you will have bad wheel hop and shitty ride. Lowering springs have a higher than stock spring rate to counter act the shorter travel.

i'm not bashing you for this, but sounds like a classic case of a kid that saw F&F

it's okay to want a certain look but you should read around here ALOT, you will learn soooo much and get to skip over alot of the mistakes some of us have..... my two paesos:biglaugh:

that said my vote is NO...hehe

well i wanted to lower the car for the look i want to enter it in an auto show in edmonton thought it would look better and since i can't drive my car right now i though it would be ok maybe i'll just keep the car on the ground and heat the spring that lowers it to but it's also a bad idea o and my car already wheel hops really bad can someone tell me way please i think it cause i have 60 series rubber on the back
