Re: drop this

like jake said... the ghettoiest way to do it, cut it. but DON"T do it. when i got my car from the previous owner, the spring was cut. those factory springs aren't meant to be cut, they get very bouncy and just not worth it, you'll fuck up your bottom. get dampers, the Tein SS damper are the best for the bucks. about 1G will get you all set.

The Eibach Pro Kit springs are a great buy if you're looking to lower your car about 1.2"-1.5" I went with the Eibach Sportline springs which dropped me a good 1.8" front and rear. They are pretty cheap too, around $200 for a set of 4 springs.
