Is This True Or Not ? ? ?

A friend of mine just had his car lowered and it looks really good I asked him what springs he used and he said that the guy he went to just cut his factory springs down. Can this be done on our cars since Im broke and cant really afford any aftermarket springs right now.

NOOOO!!!! Do NOT cut the springs. With the money you will **** away on getting the springs cut, you might as well put that $$ to some aftermarket springs. Plus your ride will be 10 times worse than aftermarket springs. My friend did that and he was not pleased at all.

Cut Springs

Save up for a bit and buy some used aftermarket springs at least. You will be happy you did.
