Default ALWAYS listen to HCF people

Ok so as most of you know i cut and welded my stock springs to lower my car. i thought everything was going good and then i got really really sick of the insane bouncing, bad ride quality and messing up front bumpers. also i got brand new tires less than a month ago and they are already very very messed up, wires showing and all. so i got some brand new stock springs and put them on and its amazing how much better it is. when more then 10 people on the forum tell you not to do something for not only saftey reasons but becuase its dumb please listen to them. cost of not listening.

New springs- $80 (good ebay deal)

2 New bumpers- $150 (not painted)

New tires- $400 (rough price)

People not wanting to ride in your car

Constant headaches and pains

Everything gettin thrown around the car.

The only good thing about cuttin the springs is it looked sweet, but that was before i hit a small ice chunk and snapped my bumper cause it was too low.

SO PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY AND TAKE IT INTO CONCIDERATION!
