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

I went with Tein springs since they have the lowest drop ( 1.6" rear and 2.2" front). I had Megan racing springs for years but the front had more noticeable fender gap. I'm also on KYB struts. between that, all energy suspension bushings front to back, and Addco rear sway bar the handling is pretty good and still pretty comfortable. to my surprise the camber wasn't really affected.
