Hey FYI I am selling some stock springs for $60.00. You can cut them better to see if it works then your own spings.

Do NOT cut your springs. Just do it right and buy a set of decent lowering springs.
If you don't have the money save until you do. Cutting the stockers is just a bad idea.
First they're not made to be cut as they are designed to work intact and second, you'll have to cut them perfectly to be seated correctly..,and safely.

If you do this, you're dumb. Simply put. Not to be an dick, but everyone who tunes a car knows not to cut their springs on any car. SAFETY REASONS IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE!

If you are on budget, then yes, please get some decent lowering springs. There are a bunch of springs that are well under the $200 mark. Again, think safety and not the "easy way out."
