RE: Cutting the springs
Yeah I understand man, just wondering how come you weren't looking at other springs. Just from what I've gathered it's better to go on the conservative side when cutting springs. It will look good though, just dont cut the back too low.

I cut the springs on my datsun roadster and it looks sick, but it was a lucky guess. Don't exactly want to be guessing on my daily driver. Just from the few posts on other threads, I think I'm going to try 1 coil up front and .75 in the rear or just measure it out like suggested.

RE: Cutting the springs
i work at home depot and cant get a better job since a convicted felon isnt really highly looked at in the job industry but then again i would have two jobs one main one and the other for the stang fund. gotta pay to play. you can get some eibachs for like 100-150$ if you search around. i have mad bills like everyone else and if u need money to keep the girl happy f that its my way or no way. but then again some dont have it like that.

RE: Cutting the springs
You cut the top of the backs and the bottom of the fronts, as previously mentioned don't cut to much or ride quality will suffer greatly. I cut 1 coil off of the front and 1 1/2 off of the back and it definately improved the looks of my car but the ride is bouncier on bumpy roads, in a couple months I will be buying some Eibach's but for now it works okay.
