bah, pussies. just cut the damn springs Laughing

where can you get kings for 99.99 or whatever a pair???????

cutting the springs will increase the spring rate, (it will make your car handle worse on the road, because you need softish suspension on the road, otherwise it will skip over bumps and you will lose traction)

to work it out, roughly

new spring rate = original spring rate*(original length/new cut length)

probly not a good idea, unless you only cut one coil off, i would try this if it would lower my car enough, might still try it, as i have the originals lying around. (but ill check to make sure they stay seated)

edit: need a spell chequer
