I you're going to lower the car there is a lot more to it then just cutting springs. Also you may want to just put a set of springs on there that are designed to be shorter. Just cutting them is not a great idea. The stock spring and spring rate are designed around the spring being full height. If you talk to Sam Strano he can really clear things up. I personally will not be lowing my car, its not that much of a gain for me.

Yup Mashpee since 6/05 and Bridgewater before that.

I've seen lots of people on this site lower their cars. Most love it and from what I've read there is more to it then just springs being shorter. From what I gather you need an adjustable torque arm, LCA relcation brackets, special shocks designed to work with your springs and an adjustable panhard bar. That's if you want everything to be right.
