Spring has sprung, the grass has riz, I wonder were the flowers iz!

If you MUST, cut the bottom of the front, the top of the rear.

Whenever I have done it, I have always cut the tops of both, and they have always turned out good. I have done it on two separate cars. A couple years ago I actually read in a Mustang magazine that if you are simply doing it for looks then there is no reason not to cut the stock springs.
