I don't think anyone is hating on you bro. But ur post makes as much sense as me buying or trading for lowering springs then adding on coils to raise it up like drag springs.
Drag springs raise the car for weight transfer. So they did what they were supposed 2. U cutting them defeats the purpose. But if ur happy with what u did then who cares. But I wouldn't complain when everyone calls u out on it.

Umm just to let you know, "drag" springs arent known or designed to be "stiff". They are designed for weight transfer. After reading your thread I can tell you I have no idea what your ending goal was or is

That looks good. But who knows how it will work until you try it out. Bring that thing out on the street or track and see how it does. I wouldn't have cut thoses coils myself but the again I wouldn't get drag springs. Hope it works out for you.

shiftylx your car was bad ass- IMO the cleanest looking fox vert around ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)

Basically you want it to sit low, but still luanch like a drag set up. Correct???? So why not spend the extra cash and do a coilover swap?? ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

And there are budget ones out there........ You know, the great part about most people is their lack of knowledge or their willingness to listen and take suggestions.
When it comes to coilover kits the sleeve style kits do accomplish the same and the threaded shock style ones. Kits like the Moroso, or QA1, even the Granitelli*(spelling) are decent kits. Then depending on the Spring legnth and spring rate you order, you get your desired ride height and firmness you want.
You could have gotten a budget set-up for under $200 for the rear easily. And finding front lowering springs isn't hard. Craigslist or even here.
Don't get snappy at people when you do get advice. Some of it makes more sence then using just crappy drop springs on a track car.
