cutting springs does cutting 3/4 off of the front spring,and putting a 5/8 hose on the rear really work, and how will the car ride after you cut the spring.Im looking for a cheap way of lowering my 99 TA

Dont even bother cutting the springs. If you are going to the effort of removing the stockers, might as well upgrade them while you are in there. Not only will the ride quality suck, but you will also have the infamous 'honda hop'.

You do not get the Honda hop if you don't cut too much. You can safely cut 1 coil from the bottom of the front coil and 1.25 coils from the top of the rear coil. I did this and the ride is ok. I will be getting some other springs however as I would like to take the Formula out to TWS sometime. I tried the SLP Eibachs but did not like the combo.

ps: pic in sig does not reflect cut springs. They are the SLP's.
