ew. cut springs = fail.

just get coilovers. if you can afford a set of carbon fiber fenders, then you should be able to drop the cash on a set of decent coilovers.

its dangerous and actually hurts the performance of the spring.

two pretty damn good reasons if you ask me.

Ok.i kind of thought cutting them would be better than buying new springs like ebay special.

i did more looking up about cutting them and ill take every ones legit comments on it, im buying sprint springs they have a 3" drop.

Why buy springs? Just pony up and buy coil overs that you can raise and lower throughout the year.

Cutting OEM springs is a no-no, cutting aftermarket springs is an even bigger no-no.

As Shandles said it, why do you have the money for CF fenders, but you are willing to cheap out on suspension, which is FAR more important than the way your fenders look.

Idk I really never seem interested in a set of coil overs. I read that some people don't like the way they feel.

*merged posts*

It's not a daily driver. I might do coil overs in future but for now I'll keep the stance I'll get with the sprint springs.

my biggest regret is going with springs and not just saving up a couple hundred extra and getting some coilovers. it would make all the difference in the WORLD.

btw, a three inch drop with springs is probably gonna rub like holy HELL if you ever have a passenger as springs usually have much lower spring rates than coilovers.
