If I was you I would just heat the springs and they charge $20.00 for all 4 springs.....Cutting the springs is just a big hasle...Cause you gotta cut the right amount of spring on all four corners right or you're car will ride like crap...LMK

Cut 1 1/4 coil off the front, that will give you close to 1.5" drop. I don't remember off hand what to cut off the rear so its trial and error to get it right. Just remember, it will settle down after you get a few miles on it. I made this mistake with some Jamex 2" drop springs I got way back in the day. I installed them and didn't think the car went low enough so I cut more off. It sat exactly how I wanted it to, then it settled another 3/4". Needless to say it was miserable to drive. DON'T heat the springs though, not a good way to lower your car unless you want it flat out dumped and to ride like total dog shit.

Dude, fasthatch never spells anything correctly, nor does he actually write in coherent sentences. That's just the way he rolls. Seems like he knows his stuff, so it's a moot point.
