Default i need help with my EJ8!! cut springs?!

well i bought a 97 civic coupe, and the problem is im running on cut springs the front only because i bought it like that, and i was wondering if i should cut the back springs to to match the front. because now the car just looks slanted. and ill be running on cut springs for like a month or 2,im saving up money for coilovers. so the question is should i cut the springs or just leave it till i get coilovers

personally, the idea of cut springs never set right with me, if you want to lower it, then do so, dont cut springs..... but if i was you, id wait for the coilovers,

Find a set a non cut springs and put them in.

Cutting springs is stupid and dangerous.

Go ahead. Cut the springs. Even though everyone knows that is a braindead idea. It sounds like you're going to do it anyway.

People still do this? Lol. CHEAP coilovers (can't believe I'm saying this) are better than cut springs. At least cheap suspension was designed to be ghetto...

This. Do this until you have the money for a solid suspension replacement.

lol @ climate control mod.

OP. Please do not cut springs. Buy lowering springs for cheap and get some good shocks.

Cut springs really only ride ok on an old american car that weighs in at like 3000-6000 lbs. Your poor honda will look like a mexican jumping bean riding around town.
