    You've probably realised that cutting springs isn't the best way to lower a car.. sure it gives you the height you want, but in most cases it won't handle too well...

    Do yourself a favour and save up the $$$ and buy a set of lowered springs at the height you want.

    Cut a coil off and see how it goes.

    i supplied the 40mm lowered springs based on the

    requirements
    driving he was doing
    associated mods i.e. stock shocks
    etc

    everyone wants "legal height springs" but when they put them in they get over it

    I am happy to help you out with another set that are lower

    Get the measurement of guard lip to centre of wheel, and then tell AJPS how much lower you want it, seeing as he knows what you have. You'll be better off doing it properly.

    get 220mm front and rear springs, those were the measurement on my lowered springs when i had them, sits very nice and is not hellflush slammed, looks very legal but is still very low.. still may scrape with a full car load on speed humps low is what im talking about

    after that you have to find short stroke shocks to make the ride comfy and handle well otherwise you'll fk the shocks if they are not already..so when you do the maths, add another +$100 on top then you can already get coilovers!

    so yes, save and save and get coilovers, its so much better!!
