Cutting Sprints ??

I know I can but if you dont like cutting springs then dont read...

Do I have to cut my sprints to make them even on my 5spd..I know its lighter in the front so maybe that will compensate for the high back...I have no problem cutting them I just need to know If I have to, to make them even

Cutting ure aftermarket springs just so that they look better on the car is not worth it...

-you mess up suspension geometry, spring rate
-your car's alignment will be way off
-accelerated tire wear
-bouncy as hell

it's not that i like or dislike cutting springs... that's just the possible consequences of it and since u have performance springs, they are made to do the job so don't mess around w/ em... good luck
