Fd rx-7 2'' lowering cutting coils?
I need to lower my 1993 R1 FD RX-7 1.5-2 inches but want to do it the poor man's way cutting the 4 coils and I wanted to know if anyone here has any experience in doing this kind of work on an FD? Is it possible to do it without ruin the FD's handling or ride quality? any help will be greatly appreciated.

No... No one is going to recommend cutting springs. IIRC, the stock FD spring doesn't have any dead coils, so with any cut spring rate is going to rise exponentially with how much is cut. You can find sets of used springs here on the forum for extremely reasonable prices. Keep your eye on the for sale section. I know not everyone has a ton of money to blow on modifications, but at that point it comes down to , "If you arent going to do it right, dont do it at all"

don't be cheap. it's dangerous to cut springs. Cut springs makes the vehicle extremely bouncy and if you hit a pot hole at high speed, the car will spin out. If that happens most likely you will total the 7.
wait, save up money and do it properly. you and your FD will appreciate it
