I'd say it looked better before you lowered it.

cutting springs = bad, bad idea[&:]
Never cut springs before huh? WHY?


I cut mine too, it rides the same as before. The springs aren't progressive, they are specific rate so you can cut and not change the spring rate. I agree, cutting the stock springs does nothing for performance, but neither does leaving themstock springs. I hate it when people dog about cutting springs when they know nothing about it. I lowered my car for free, what did you pay?[sm=rant.gif]

BTW, car looks good!

I'm not crazy about the lowered GT look either. Stock looks better to me, Maybe I'm getting old!!

Still want to know how many coils you cut off your springs? Will you end up buying lowering springs later or stick with what you have?
