Fc Spl

Right now my fc has gr2 with eibach pro springs, with my 15's it doesn't look tucked in enough, so i need to lower my car more, I don't have money for other suspension or coilovers, so can i just cut my eibach spings? If so how much can i cut?

Cutting springs is probably something you don't want to be doing. Yeah it's cheap but you'll end up causing yourself a lot of headache later. Cutting the springs just gives them less room to do their work. It doesn't change the spring rate and such like. You'll ride harder, possibly bottom out your shocks and you may see problems with alignment, improper tire wear and all kinds of other things. My advice is that you save up until you get different springs (used off the board here or ebay may be something to look into) and do it properly rather than have to spend more later on repairs.

Cutting the spring will increase the rate

what size tires you running?

i have an ebach pro kit and am running stocker 15's with some 215's up font and 225's out back, front looks pretty good, rear could use something slightly taller but looks pretty good imho

If you go lower you will need to do something about camber or you'll tear up tires in no time. You'll need aftermarket parts to adjust camber, it's not adjustable stock. If you to cut the springs, be sure to cut the soft rate part of the spring, that way the rate will increase more than if you cut the stiff part (they're progressive). Most of the time when springs are cut the rate doesn't increase enough to compensate for the lower height, and you end up hitting the bump stops a lot which makes for lousy ride quality.
