IT GETS YOU INTO TROUBLE!!!!!!!!
DO NOT CUT THE STOCK COILS!!!!!!!

if the drop is to low on other spring...... but other springs that dont lower the car as much.... or buy some good adjustable coil overs so you can tweek the ride height and still have a smooth ride....

Jeez comon. Buy some springs for crying out loud. Cutting your stock springs is asking for trouble. Not to mention it's about the most ricey thing you could ever do.

Try searching around. Eibach, Tein, and Nuespeed are all some reputable brands.
