RE: daytime pics lowered
THanks
overall the back went down about a quarter the front about 1.3
could be different but i can tell when driving
My whole purpose was to get front even with the back and still didn't achieve it

RE: daytime pics lowered
Something must have not been done right, maybe if you had cut 2+ coils .. but my brothers gt has 2 coils cut and its a way better ride than mine which was lowered with steeda springs ... and no negative affects on handling can be seen .. Thats my personal experience, but around the shop we do it all the time, and I haven't had any complaints other than " why did I buy springs to begin with "

RE: daytime pics lowered
i agree i put my fronts on a few weeks ago... then read about cutting on here and a buddy advise me to do that well before i installed the back i took fronts out cut one of the orginal with angle grinder measured and everything so i know it was close to right. the ride was horrible like everyone on here said.... then i put the others back on maybe i just had bad luck
summit told me the same thing your saying... he says thats how the did it in the old days
