any comments? my suggestion is just to get rid of the springs all together, that way the ride won't be too bouncy, stock dampeners are awesome, shock absorption is wayyyy over rated

Don't be such a cheapass. You gotta pay to play, you want the look, then spend the cash.

+1 for don't cut your springs.

you can cut as many coils as you wont to crash your car....dont be cheap and cut your springs. Buy a coilover system. get it used if you have to.
