To those that choose to help me, I know this isnt recommended, but I am cutting my springs in my Q. I just want to know how much spring did you cut and how much inches of drop you got! and where did you measure from?

Thanks for your help.

Cut half the springs off so you can get some sexy sparks!

I was about to link you to some past NICO threads, but I decided I didn't want to be involved in helping you cut springs.

:biggrin: :nono:

But if you click on the red flashing Search button, they're there.

if you actually find springs. By just friggin asking you never know who can get what, youll probably save hundreds if you just buy the lowering springs rather than wear your crap out pre maturly with spring cutting.
happy 200th post to me!

I bought mine with eibachs on it. It looks sharp just with a two inch drop, but watch that tire clearance in the wells. You might wanna go low pro tires.

I cut 1 coil out of each of the front springs. Ride is good quality still and tracks normally. Only lowered the front about .5" I wouldn't cut more, just buy springs. I only did it till I can design my own airbag setup for the car. It's not a permanent solution at all.
