Does anyone know if I will run into any bad side effects if I cut my pro-kit springs. I want the sportline drop but dont have the money to buy them so I was thinking about cutting mine to get the extra 1/2" drop but I dont want to run into any problems in doing so. How do I measure the coil in order to cut it so The car will sit 1/2" lower?

Do you still have your spring isolators in place? Taking those out will give you around a half inch drop...this would be a better alternative to cutting the springs.

They are the rubber pieces that go on top and bottom of the spring.

I just went out and looked at my car and it does have the isolators still but how does removing them give you that much of a drop, the isolators look real thin?

the top cup is real thick and you cant see it unless the spring is out, and together the top and bottom are about a 1/2" thick

wouldn't that make them noisy and metal on metal rub just ain't good. Couldn't you sell the ones you have and buy the others?

Unless your gonna cut like 2 coils off it wont be that bad. I have a coil cut off my sportlines and it doesnt ride any worse then it did before
