    Tied it up.
    Nothing wrong with cutting a little more and saving money.
    Also, I'd cut a full coil.
    Just sayin...

          Can you cut rear springs on that car? Will they sit well after cutting?

            you can cut springs on anything. and it seems more sensible to mod $200 springs to go low than mod $1200 coilovers to go the same low and ruin what they are actually built to do in the first place. 18's sound like my best bet. i have some new wheels going on and once i sell those im prob gonna do 18's.

            this is the closest pole ive seen to date.

            heres the closeup

              Rake FTW. I like it exactly as is.


              If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

                Have you already taken the spring pads out? Pretty sure you can't cut the rears.. the ends of the spring are coiled around the perches/pads.

                Don't mess with the fronts..

                  Get coilovers. Current setup can be sold to cover most of the cost. Once cut, they will be worth less than half of what they are now.

                    I'd leave it alone. Love the gap front and rear, and I've always been a fan of rake so IDK. Just my opinion.

You have a nice car, why fuck around with cut springs when you don't have to and coilovers are available for the platform?

                          if they come out with stanceworks coils for my car ill be set. FK's were the only ones i wasnt sure about and i just found out that FK's dont even get as low as my car is now (fml)

                            That seems to be a really nice vehicle. Why the hell would you cut springs. If you can't currently acquire the coil overs for that platform to properly obtain a height level you're shooting for, then that's the exact reality. Don't ghetto it out by cutting a spring that was designed to perform as it does at it's current length.

                            Patience and well evaluated decisions will result in quality further down the road.

                            Don't cut.

                              but coilovers or not thats the whole idea about stanceworks, pushing the limits lol. and its not that i cant get them, its that i have yet to see them made

                                That's what I was refering to.
