LMAO...
Put those on your car and then tell us how awesome your car handles and sits.

I would never put something like that on any car. Those are some of the cheapest and worst quality springs that I have ever seen. You could buy them and use them as cool looking paper weights but I would never put them on any type of automobile.

They have springs that drop the car the same hieght as the eibach kit. They also cost a bit less.

JDM? as in japan domestic market? i dont think those would be good springs for a mustang. nor would ya impress any gearheads by telling you got jdm springs on your stang. I say go with the whole bullitt lowering kit, with shocks, springs, and sway bars...itll lower your car about an inch or so, youll handle much better, and your dampers will be stiffer than stock. its not too pricey, instead of buying the parts separately.

Why not cut them? Just use a dremel and a cut off wheel. Not hard at all and it's free. Ryansquick6 has a write up here for it. I done it, and it lowered mine an 1 1/2 all around and the ride is great. Takes about 2 hours for everything if you've never done it before, Extremely easy.

if you just wanna lower it, yeah, a lot of people cut springs, but it wont give you a firmer suspension. if u want performance with good spring rates, id go with aftermarket.

um cutting.... bad idea. my old eclipse had cut springs, about a 3" drop all around tho, kinda bent a tie rod, and my driverside transaxle, cost about a grand of work to get it all fixed, including new springs. i would just go with buying springs that are meant for a drop, rather than cutting the stock ones, which are meant to be....well.....uh.....stock? haha
