How long have you had them on? My Maxspeeds have settled quite a bit over the last two months. The other day when I walked out of work, my car was sitting all by itself in the parking lot, and I noticed that it finally looked like a "lowered" car.
Of course... if you want the slammed look, then by all means, hack away.

My opinion, and the opinion of MOST of the people on the .org is that you are going to ruin your ride quality if you cut a coil. Some people have done it, and some people say it's fine to do so, but I wouldn't do it.

Well, when I first installed mine, that's about what the gap was too. It has settled down to what looks like about a 2 to 2 1/2 finger gap all the way around.
