Hey guys. I have a 96 GT with an Eibach pro kit, but im also runnin 17s with very low profile tires so its not sitting low enough for me. I was just wondering how much i should cut off of my springs to make the car sit like it had Eibach sportlines or H&R supersports??

None, cutting stock springs can change the tensile strength and molecular structure. Buy a set of used springs, I see them going from $50-100 and it would be much safer.
