Thanks in advance!

ok so theyre all active so cutting a half coil out will make a difference......i'd say throw them in and see where you wanna go from there cuz once theyre cut youre stuck with em like that

These springs are supposed to drop .5" or so, which I really don't wanna scrap my mufflers or worry about speed bumps etc, but I would like to get an extra .5" out of em, I'm wondering if cutting them would be better or maybe if i just ditched the iso's?
