Steeda Drag Springs, or the Eibach Drag kit.. they will help weight transfer, but don't expect a smooth ride.. lol... My stepbrother cut his springs on one of his other cars, and about 8 months later, his axle snapped... food for thought perhaps?

Can you cut the rear spring (1 coil) and they still fit and work safely?

Its ghetto, it can make it ride like ****, and I have extreme doubt that you are gonna get weight transfer off of it.
If you really need weight transfer, just get some fox 4cyl springs. junkyard em for almost nothing.

RE: Cut springs?
height and they do get stiffer and handle better
Twenty cars doesn't make you an expert, it just means you've been doing it wrong on twenty cars and you have a good imagination.
It's good for looks and looks only.
