*edit: And get your d**m car aligned. You act like because someone (probably improperly) cut your springs (and probably put the stock shocks back on), your alignment is jacked for life.

Uhmm no that is not what I was saying. Just saying that because the springs were cut, my car rides like ****. So once I get new suspension for her, and get her aligned she will be fine. Unfortunately, now I have to fix her steering column, door locks, window, and alarm before I do any of that.

lol Relax boy.

I can't EVER let go of the steering wheel. AND my tires are bowed WAY in, which means I now have uneven treadware as well. The inside of my front tires are wearing instead of the middle.

So if you are thinking about cutting springs, DON'T. Your car will hate you and you'll end up hating yourself.

Read over the bolded sections again. You're saying because the springs were cut, the car rides like s**t. I highly doubt it's the springs, I'd say the blame lies in the shocks. And a $40 alignment would take care of the toe that's making your car pull. The negative camber by itself is not going to wear the inside edges of your tires.

*edit for clarification: and I'm not getting worked up, I'm just an a**hole
