u dont wanna cut the springs m8. It bad for the chassis and can bend/twist it over a period of time epending on how aggressive u drive the car. It much better to get a proper lowering kit, even if u can only afford a cheap kit.

if u did cut springs then ur better of measuring space between coils then measuring space from arch to wheel then that wud give u rough idea where to cut and how many to cut but the guy is right my car handles so much beter now i aint got cut springs especially for the redtop, all that speed and power putting strain on chassis last thing it needs is cut springs putting strain on each corner
