Cutting springs = lower IQ then the chipmunk that ran under my tire.

1.8'' is significant, even though u can roll the fender like serious some air suspension.

There might be still gap between the tire and fender, but the gap between the ride and the ground can be fixed by some lip kits.

i forsee a great load of fail in your future.

1. cutting springs...especially relativly soft springs like the dropzones is a BAD idea. do you even have aftermarket shocks?
2. why not remove them, sell them and save for a set of coilovers and not getto rig your car?
3. how long ago did you install them? they may still have to settle.

if you make thoes things too short, you can risk SERIOUS damage if the shock fully extends and the spring comes loose of tha mounts.

You could just leave your dropzones how they are and give them time to sag out like always. but then of course you would look like u have 4 dead bodys in the trunk

Coils>Dropzones

But if coils are to much,

u can get performance without going low unless u just want the "looks"

H&R springs ftw matched with some tokio struts would work lovley!

You should have gone with coilovers if you wanted to slam the car. It's not a good idea to be cutting/heating springs since they were designed with a specific spring rate which you would be altering. How much do you want it dropped?

since u guys seem so strong on not cutting springs ima take ure words for it. i also think it might be a regretful idea. i guess i will learn to accept my ground clearence. gotta stay high

honestly man if your not happy with it then sell the drop zones, just be patient and snatch a set of used coilovers when the come around. when ya buy them used its actually not that much more then a full new spring strut combo.
