also cut my eibachs!!!
i'd never thought i'd cut another set of springs but oh wells...just a half coil in front and one coil in the back. the car sits little bit lower but it's not that much lower than before. Tokicos are working very nicely and the car isn't bouncing that bad...just a little stiff over bumps and rough surface roads. but at least my car doesn't float around anymore!!!

There are so many springs out ther that can lower your car more than cutting your Eibach!!!!
Why didn't you get like B&G which lowers 1.6"all around, i am sure it will lower than your cut eibach!!!

Just curious, personally I wouldnt' do it myself, been there, done that and never will do it again!!!

this isn't the first time i cut the springs you know. i was fully aware of the outcome but like i said, i've only cut half a coil in front and the ride is not what you'd expect. and i also know that there are other ways to getting my car lowered too..no need to hear another lecture on that. it's actually about the same as before. well, believe it or not, all that noises coming from my struts are gone now too..

How much did you pay for your tokico's? What is good about them? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm curious.

I think he got the bug from me....sorry Hoon, didn't think you were gonna do it. But I agree with Hoon, the ride isn't bad at all, my car rides stiff as you know what with cut Eibachs...in fact, I'm gonna cut some more real soon.
