Question H&R SPRINGS

I bought the H&R race springs and they didn't lower much at all in the front and appears to be lower in the back. Is it ok to cut the front springs a little? Also i'm putting the d-spec tokico shocks and struts in. Thanks.

They didn't settle. It was 5 months ago. Its just the way the kit is. Lots of people have this problem.

i would remove the isolators before i started cutting anything, unless you've already done that.

It says that it lowers 1.6 in the front but only lowered .5 - .75. I'm going to cut i guess but wanna know if anyone else has and if it has any adverse effects.

Are you 100% positive the springs are in the perches correctly?

^ first think I would check!

First.... don't go cutting the springs until you confirm the above. Secondly, don't go cutting the springs anyway!
