Has anyone cut their stock springs, come on in
Just wondering if anyone has cut their stock springs and what kind of results you have came up with. I read a post from a guy that cut 1 and 1/4 of the coils off on each and he said it road fine with stock shocks. It looked great and the drop was perfect. Just wondering if anyone has done the same? Thanks

I'll be doing exactly that this weekend as a short term ride height adjustment. I have my Koni fronts on the lower perch and that lowered the front nicely (I think not quite an inch. 3/4 - 7/8 I'd say), so I'm looking to lower the rear the same amount. It only looks worse with the front dropped even the small amount it is.
Next spring will be a full aftermarket spring drop with appropriate suspension mods to maintain proper geometry. I'll post the results of my efforts later this weekend.

Before you cut the rears, you may want to remove the rubber spacer and put a small piece of heater hose over the top spring coil. You should see about 3/4 inch drop this way and no cutting.
Good luck!
