It's NOT ok to cut a spring. Period. Aftermarket or OEM.

Eibach's like to do it themselves though. No saws needed

Didn't notice too much difference in the ride other than a slightly 'firmer' feel. Got a definite firmer than stock (SE) feel now and hugs corners nicely. The new suspension bits(LCA/endlinks/tierodends) up front helped with that as well

Not good

So true, no matter what you see the idiots do on TV(Gas Monkey garage). It can work but you're much better off spending $200-$250 on springs
