Cut the eibach pro kit springs. 1 1/2 coil on the back and 1 coil on the front. I was afraid that the ride wasnt gonna be smooth but its still pretty good. I have kyb shocks and struts too so that might be part of it. I love the new stance:eek:

I'm not a fan of cutting springs but it looks good. I love your steeda wheels.
im not either. my dad always tried to get me to do this for a while now so I figured why not. I didnt wanna buy new springs cause i wanna go with coilovers. Thanks!
Nice....i want your wheels....
Thanks bro. I'll get some pics up of when its under light like at a gas station when is dark out, the wheels look amazing under artificial light.

Thanks for all the comments guys! as for speed bumps, they arent too big around here. I used a cutting disc/wheel? my dad borrowed it from his shop. Took about 3-4hrs with lunch break. lol This will deff be temporary. the ride isnt unbearable but then again its not preferred. I can give up some comfort for appearance for now :)

I love the slammed look. Any tips on pulling the springs? I'm going to be swapping mine out to some SVE springs as soon as the temperature gets decent (40s at least, LOL)

it was in the 60s here haha
and idk how everyone else does there springs but use the jack under the rear axle for the back springs and the control arms for the front. this will let the springs decompress slowly by lowering your jack. just make sure you take the bolt holding the bracket for the front brake lines off before you do or it'll get stretched. theres some othere stuff but then again idk if how me and my dad did it is how everyone else does it?
