if u can't afford to do it right, then don't do it because it'll end up costing you more in the end(IE: when your springs/welds/shocks fail and you crash). like mentioned, most people wait and save for a long time before they get the right parts. cutting and welding(wtf?! you're stupid) is all around a bad idea and isn't the right way to lower a car. the fact that your cutting away to get a 3in drop makes it even worse..

everyone stop with the nonsense, just point this guy in the right direction.

i would also just like to know WTF you welded? j/w most ive seen is just cut the spring..... but i woul dnever cut the spring myself.... you get what you pay for when it comes to springs and struts! but thats just my opinion.
but even with a 3inch drop if your still on your stock struts then i would seriously start saving for some nice struts....

Looks good, but don't know if i would safely drive it. And have you done an alignment yet? The rear camber is kicked out as well as the front toe has plowed.
