Is it safe to cut my springs to lower it?

Ha ha ha... every1 down in tas does it. well the cutting of springs that is. i was wondering if it would make my car have more body role? I HATE BODY ROLE! And if it would bounce more of make it a harder ride?

It would bounce so much.. Lets just say it would put the "horse" in horsepower.

You don't wanna lower your car 3 inches unless you're willing to spend money on tires every 3 months, or you're willing to spend lots of money on suspension work in order NOT to wear out your tires that quick.

2 inches would do just fine, and you wouldn't need much work done to your suspension other than a good wheel alignment. Its not worth the trouble to go any lower, ride is shitty. 2 inches or less is probably the biggest drop you can get for your car anyways.

What Corolla do you have?
Grab some Tein S-tech springs almost a 2" drop after settling and they are less than $200(US) brand new. Used you could get them cheap.

Cut springs will bounce a lot.
