Jesus christ if there is one thing I hate it is people that buy performance springs AND CUT THEM... why don't you just cut your stock springs?

Nothing personal, but if you want to go lower get coilovers or take out your springs entirely

well sir here is the thing about stock springs. there soft as hell meant for stock ride hight its great for stock but when you cut stock springs you would have to cut likle 2 coils off so it will look lowered.. proformance springs. like teins are stiffer so they are better for a lower ride hight. i didnt take a cut off wheel to my springs and go crazy, i trimmed them. something that drag racers have been doing for years. not everyone has money for $1000 coilovers. cool thing is ive seen no side effects from trimming my springs. havent blown my struts, nothing. the only thing i have is bump steer, but im pretty sure nobody does anything about that because nobody wants to raise there steering colomn. but thankyou for your input.

Teins for our cars are just as soft if not softer than stock.

If you want to go lower and can't pay for it, then don't do it... do it right or do it twice (which you are know experiencing)

You can't modify the struts to have more travel nor there exists any.

Want a real tip? Keep you cut springs, and get Koni Yellows and run them full stiff.

P.S. You're still probably going to bottom out even with Koni inserts..
