or you can buy my drop zone springs very cheap and will drop the car about 2inches..

i cut my springs.. they did ok, but its not worth the headache and honestly if you don't do it correctly you will be in trouble. there is no write ups for this becuase its an unspoken mod...

i do it to pretty much any car i can get my hands on...

240, cressidas, countless accords, integras and civics, henry's S12, his S2000 (hah! i wish, not really). but yea. i even tried to get this my friend to let me cut his 2007 WRX's springs (thought it would motivate him to get coilovers asap).

i also enjoy painting wheels colors such as pink or orange.

ifffffffffffff you do cut the springs you need to think ahead about a few things.

1. will there be more people than just you in the car most of the time.
2. will you be doing any aggressive driving, cornering, heard braking....ect.

if so don't cut them. if not then just remember that you'll want to leave the driver side springs slightly longer.

clean car. personally i would just wait it out, maintain your car, fix whats wrong with it, and save up for coilovers on the side. but if your really that anxious to lower it just go ahead and cut em. just dont slam your car on cut springs, i made the mistake of doing that. slammed on cut springs=
