I agree... Cut springs are
you are better off buying a set of springs the height you want it, and going with that... Better ride quality than cut... I have never had cut springs on a car, but I know people that have and its too bouncy... Its like having hydraulics all the time and at the worst times, like speed bumps... Going over speed bump=WAM!= So just do it right the first time, you will be alot happier

depends on how many coils were cut, and what the asking price is.

if it's only a few coils we're talkin here, and they don't want much $$$ for them, why not, go for it. if done moderately, cut springs are no stiffer or worse than some of the coilover kits out there.

Best thing to do is buy them and try it out. If you like it, keep 'em. If you don't buy some new ones.

Cut springs=not good. Don't get them, just get some cheap lowering springs, there are many out there.

Ok personally I wouldnt do cut springs. Again like most said just find a good set that lowers your car the amount you want or go with a good set of coilovers. But in the defense of cut springs after market springs are alot better to cut then stock ones, if you cut 1 or 2 coils off a set of good springs(not the cheap ones to start out with) they are not to bad. I would suggest looking around and seeing if you can find some cheap springs local that are used or even going on ebay and picking some up. You can find used springs for like 50-70bucks usually. I picking my new sprint springs up off ebay shipped for 80bucks. Just my 2cents
