Default Eibach Sportline question? 1995 Honda Civic 2dr Coupe

I just recently bought a pair of Eibach Sportlines and matched them up with some tokico blue. I think the shocks are blown or they are just plain rough condition.

However, everyone calls these springs "highbachs" and I can see why. But, has anyone actually cut off about a 1/4"-1/2" on them and still ride with the same kind of ride?

This is just an informative question, let me know (please keep flames out, ive already used coilover suspension and koni/gc and blah blah blah...im looking to keep this for an informative post for people in my situation)

Thank you in advance!

For eibach's, I go with the adjustable coil overs if you're not happy with the ride height. But I definitely would NOT recommend cutting the springs.

Eibach puts great tests thru those springs, and who goes to say what you're doin if you cut 'em short. That's on you..

Agreed. Cut springs are bad.
