I posted a while back that we were riding too high when we installed the OEM replacement springs we purchased through Summit. Yesterday we changed that by cutting out ~ 1 5/8 coils on each side. We removed the shocks, jacked up the car to release most of the tension on the springs, and bolted the spring compressor (internal type that mounts like shock) into place as a saftey measure. We did not compress and remove the spring. I found some threads discussing cutting the springs while they are still in the car. I had it set up safely and decided to utilize the method described in the thread. I used my plasma cutter to cut through the springs. I had to make secondary cuts on the part we planned to discard to get them off the car. The whole process was safe and clean. The springs are back in position with appropriate rubber bushings in place top and bottom
Here's the "before and after" shots. I hope to get her in for exhaust pipes today (those open headers are LOUD).
