Just curious as to how they ride after they were cut as well as the change in height.

Never done it but it is a bad idea, not to mention dangerous.

All the people who did it seemed to dissappear after a while..

DONT cut your stock springs. You have been on the org long enough to know whats right and wrong, if you dont have $$ go buy some sprints there only like $120 :P

2" drop.
