Just wait dude, its not worth the hassle, just stay 4x4 for one more month, it aint going to kill you, I can't say that about cutting the coils though aha.

Think about it, would you REALLY want to risk hurting you or someone else just to "look good"?

All it takes is that ONE instance for your life to change and go horribly wrong. Why up the ante?

Do it once. Do it right. 30 days is a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of your life.

Do the job right, or leave it alone. So you want to risk something happening for a 1in 1/2 drop??

just get some ebay springs, or spring blues? it will handle better vs cut

[chillin943]

yes ive cut coils. i took a coil and a half off the back stock springs. and it dropped the car where i wanted it about almost 2 inches. BUT now read this before u do.....when u cut the tops or bottoms of the coils, they WILL not seat on the strut at all. the tops and the bottom of the stock coils are flat. cutting removes the flatness which creates a huge headace. they will fall out, be lop sided and always have a clunk or a knock wit every bump. not to mention everytime u jack the car up it gets all out of line and u have to reset it before u lower it back down. from someone who has experince in this, do it right. that shit just isn't safe to ride around on.

dude, don't fuck your car up. seriously are you that retarded? just buy some springs, someone on here has to have some crappy Ebay ones if you're dying to go lower.

[BlackSheep]

i've done it to two cars, slammed on because they only made coils to lower to like 1 inch and that wasnt enough for me. The other just lowered a little. I've never had a problem with the struts or anything like everyone else is saying. It rode just like lowering springs(in fact one set was lowering springs) If i were going to do it i'd cut two off. I've never in my life seen a coil fly out but hey things happen. If you are just riding on it for a month, which i suspect your not or you don't know how much a pain in the ass it is to keep changing coils haha, if it is the case then i'd just wait like everyone else said.

I think I follow you here...but let me check

You KNOW you should not do this
you KNOW we will tell you not to do this

yet...
...you are asking us if you should?

really now...seriously. You ...like wasting everyone's time or something?

*sigh
do not cut your springs...ebay cheapos are better but not by much.

[203CB7TUNER]

dnt do it...
my car came with cut stocks...i wen to the junk yard and but some stock sping and put them back on ..because i wanted to feel how the car handles stock....i have been looking for the perfect spring setup but..ima picky guy...(maybe because i want the cb7 to handle like a shifter car)

and for the hieght i jus want to eliminate the excessive wheel well space...but a good set of rims and tires can also do that....
