someone bought a car that this was done on a long while back. its not exactly safe. why not just buy coilovers that drop that bish the way you want it? it would be safer that way. and you live in california, would they pass that thing for inspections?

Re: Cutting shocktowers because i like to be low...Pictures would be amazing
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you can get up to 4 inches of drop with Skunk2 Pro C coilovers. And I think the ride height is adjusted by changing the length of the shock, without necessarily having to adjust the springs. I wouldn't risk the structural integrity of the vehicle. This is coming from someone with not much experience, though, too. Just putting my two cents in.
