    I have d&d coilovers with lakewood 70/30 and 50/50front and rear on the black car and they are ok for the money. What brand did you get for the front and which struts? Im thinking about the tokiko illuminas or strange 10 way adjustable.

    I have the Tokico's up front with UPR coilovers. My buddy has the Strange 10 ways and UPR coilovers, both setups seem to work great. Only complaint he has is the struts make noise. Mine are silent.

    I have cut springs for frineds cars before, though it is not unsafe you will throw the spring rate off and it will ride like shit. it will not improve the handling, but if you are going after the lowered look and dont mind sacraficing ride quality go for it.

    As stated go 1/4 cut at a time as you can alwayse go lower, but if you cut too much your screwed.

    I cut 1/2 a coil on my front Eicbach's, and a coil off my rear Roush springs.

    Make sure you cut from the top of the spring on the rears, and the bottom of the spring for the fronts.

    Use a cut off wheel, and dont even think twice about it, they arent going anywhere with the full weight of the car on them.
