Default Drag Springs

I've got a lil cash to spend, and I was thinking about throwing some eibach drag springs on the stang. I was wondering if these are too aggressive to be streetable, and which shocks i'd use. Also, how do you add air to the airbags, do you have to pull the wheel everytime you want to change the pressure (from street to strip)? Any info and pics afterward (I've heard these actually raise the ride height) would be appreciated!!!

They are a bit agressive for a daily driver, you won't be able to take corners fast... The airbag has a line that you can mount anywhere you want... You definetly want to cut one coil off the front or it will look like you have the first 4x4 edition Mustang...lol

Yeah, I read that cutting a coil off the top of the spring will leave the car about 1/2 in lower than stock. I hate to sound dumb, but is that something I could do with a hacksaw or a sawzall, or do i need a plasma cutter or torch? Any other opinions?

Sawzall will do the job, but MAKE SURE you cut them even.... Line them up and mark both of them in the same spot...I'd hate to see you ruin a set of brand new springs...

Yeah, I was told just to line the cut up with the ending point of the spring, and just cut that one coil off. I would think that would make it even. It'd probably make installation a little easier too!
