spring mods

[T_Raven]

People will argue about this until the end of time, but cutting coil springs has been common in the race world for years. The biggest problem with cutting coils is using the same shocks. Cutting a coil will make it stiffer, which is usually not a bad thing since aftermarket coils would be stiffer anyway. However removing a leaf in the rear would make the spring softer, so a drop block kit is probably a better idea.

To drop a car on the cheap, I don't see anything wrong with cutting coils. It's probably not going to ride the best, especially with stock shocks, but it doesn't cost anything to do, so if you hate it you can always upgrade later.
