Hey, peace and love man, don't take it personally. Just let other people express there self and be open to other people ideas... I have like 15 friends that for years have cut there springs with no problems what so ever. Yea, at the end they go for coilovers not springs... Someday I'll buy a coilover kit but for now I'll stay with my cut springs.... And to clarified my position in this matter, if you have the money and don't know how to do a clean cut, go for the real thing... Sorry man, if I took shots at you, THE END...
