all fox's ride like crap.

u will not notice 1 or 2 coils cut.

like hell you wont. there is a BIG difference when you cut lowering springs. take it from me i have actually cut these particular springs. i cut 1.5 coils out of it it lowered it another bug chunk. i had to take out the inner wheel fender wells because the tires were rubbing it

lol that's pretty extreme. usually you wanna start with like half a coil, maybe a coil if it's on the high side.

Ok, I really dont want to spend more money on another set of drop springs. Im thinking of taking out the isolators and cutting a half coil on the springs. Do you think this will effect the car that much? Also the coils have been in the car for year so i know they are broken in.

Start with just taking out the isolators, the springs advertise a 1.5" drop which isnt bad. Taking out the isolators could give you a half inch or so, I would only cut the springs as a last resort. Do you still have the stock springs? You'd be better off cutting those rather than the BBKs.

RE: Need help with drop springs!

yes it was extreme but thats what my girl wanted for her car. just here recently did we swap the stock springs back in with a coil and half cut out. you wouldnt believe how much better the car rides. the bbks are still in the with 1.5 coils cut out. i will probably when it warms up switch the back out for stock gt springs and cut them some to try and regain some comfort back over the bbks
