Thanks for the kind words.

I lower cars only enough that the suspension doesn't get beat up, the springs are not rattling loose, and the tires are not being eaten.
Sometimes you will need a camber kit.

I really need to do some measuring to tell you how much lowering works for your particular car/wheel/tire combination.

How bad will the ride be?.........
I recommend spring rates close to what the car was designed to use, unless your car is for smooth race track only, where it is stressed to the limit in every corner..............something that cannot be done on the street without getting in trouble with
the cops...............hard springs also lose grip in the turns on the street when the car is bouncing.......something I have demonstrated
when people ride with me.

Since I can't see the details of your wheels/tires
and fender clearance, we can take the suspension apart, do a detailed analysis, to see how much (and if) your wheel/tire combination will be compatable with what you want it to look like.

No problem.

I can demonstrate that what I do with springs works
and plenty of people choose to save money with cut springs. I also install aftermarket springs for people who want aftermarket springs installed.

At meets I have a picture of a stock car beside a car I lowered 3" . My suspension is not beat up, shocks are not blown out, tires are not eaten.
You can drive my car to verify the truth.

The labor cost is the same for either. The big difference is the money you save by not spending a lot for aftermarket springs............
-----------------------------------------------------------
The people who don't know how to measure a cars suspension, and don't understand how the suspension works, can
demonstrate that they don't know what they are doing, and that's why those people mess up your car..............and then tell others about it. They blame the cut spring instead of their own lack of ability..............
-------------------------------------------------
A spring that's too short is too short no matter how it got that way and that's what those people don't understand. You can spend $300 for a spring that's too short, and it will do the same damage as if someone OTHER THAN ME cut it. -Bob
