? for anyone who cut their springs on 2nd gen

How many coils did you cut off, and did you cut from top or bottom? I'm talking about the front. I looked at it today and it looks like whichever way you cut them, it will disturb the way the spring seats on it's perch.
I was planning on cutting ~1.5 coils from top, that seems to me like the safest way to go.

I have access to a spring compressor. I'm doing it because I dont have the money for a real kit right now and the front end looks jacked up b/c of all the stuff I've removed from under hood.

I really dont care to hear anything from you if you think cutting springs is dumb, for whatever reason.

thanks
Mike

Don't do that to the car. Please don't ruin a 7. It will run the ride and possibly **** some things up. Intrax makes a lowering kit thats really cheap and I mean cheap, in more ways that one.

Now come on, he said he didnt want to hear anything like how stupid it is to cut stock springs even though I totally agree with you.
