give them to me b4 you destroy them, and I will chop my stock springs and send them to you.

You even live in Utah, so I will take your springs and put my chopped stock springs on your car myself. They will ride equally as crappy as eibach's that are cut.

DON'T DO IT, If you want something lower get coil overs or buy some that come with a lower drop. Eibachs are designed for a smooth ride, not really looks. That is why they are only like 1.5" drop.

Like I said sell them to me, or just don't do it at all.

Shoot. My stock springs are so worn that they don't need to be cut. I measured 1 inch gap in the front and 2.5 in the back.

Why do you want your car that low?&nbsp you realize that you're going to screw up the rear camber, which is going to lead to uneven tire wear?
