Haha...

Well last night I descided to lower my new car. I used Tokicos and Eibachs. I also cut 1 coil off of the front ones. Now you can HARDLY stick 1 finger in either of the wheel wells

Just buy teins, lowering springs aren't designed to be cut, nice move Einstein. And don't say others have done it. If you do I have a bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell you......

You will learn when it starts wearing tires and you post thread to ask why.......

I know Andy has done it, I am saying that Lowering springs aren't designed to be cut. If you would like to discuss this I am sure others will have my back. I know what I am talking about so please don't try and talk down to me.

To defend Igor, he didn't pay jack for the springs..they came off his wrecked 2000, so as far as he's concerned his drop has been paid for a while ago...

And your point is.....

Lowering a 30k car like this in this manner is not smart, its called ghetto. You want lower do it right, not hacking springs.

it's definately a nice drop, but i would recomend some camber plates so you do not wear out your tires prematurely.. your struts do not have shortened valve bodies so it may bottom out and eventually blow sooner than u anticipate...

Your right were all morons, we aren't smart. I am college educated and have a great career, I am dumb

Also please don't insult my parents, My mom is a Nurse practioner and my Dad is on the board of directors of a hospital. I would say their IQs are pretty good considering they have Masters degrees.

Defending hacking springs is mad smart
