probably not too bad....but Im pretty sure for that to work out evenly you will want to cut less from the rear...say 1 coil up front and 1/2-.75 in the rear

:headbang: I have no idea... (stiff) is better

my plan was to run no isos up front and both rear to keep the height good. idk yet till i get some better opinions

Cutting the springs will make it stiffer.

I ended up having to cut my stock springs to get them back in after getting screwed on a deal for springs, and I cut 1-1.5 coils out the front and left the rear alone because I didn't want to have to do that lol. It actually doesn't ride as bad as I was expecting it to.

I have cut springs in the rear of my car, felt almost NO difference, stock springs in gt/v6 are NOT progressive springs. Meaning the rate of the spring is the same at the top as at the bottom, unlike some others out there.

Heres a pic with the cut's out back...

duff daddy · Jan 10, 2010

duff daddy · Jan 10, 2010

2 will be close do at least one and a half and see how it is, cut it right about where mine is shown in that picture, I had measurements of it but if you can wait till tomorrow ill get you a true inch heigh of the springs right now...

ZachSav · Jan 10, 2010
