Don't cut it no matter what. With our ultra-soft springs after they're being cut I can garantee they'll rub the fenders right away.

"your boy" might not know the proper way to cut them so that's even more risk there...

Plus in addition to cutting springs, your handling will go crap if you don't cut the springs even. Follow what everyone else has said, and DON'T cut YOUR SPRINGS!!

Your "boi" is a mechanic or a mechanical engineer?? Does he know the first thing about spring rates and dampening? Just because something is free does not mean there is nothing to lose.

No money = Car no look nice. Welcome to the real world.
