Can someone update that cutting springs thread I had on Revscene for me. I got a 7 day ban for stirring the pot...

Anyways, went over to Mikes house today and we both had a nice learning experience cutting the springs. Everything went according to plan except the fronts where we couldn't get the top strut bolt loose so we just cut the spring with it all together (BIG BANG!).

I cut 3.5 coils all around. I wanted to do 2.5 but we fucked up on the first one so I had to bite the bullet. Was worried right after because my exhaust was dragging... Turns out it was just my exhaust clamp that had the threads pointed to the ground, quick little flip and she's good to go (think I need to tighten it down, I can smell carbon monoxide and my ears hurt).

Moreover, the car is now silly low and it's awesome. I can't take ppl in the back seat cuz it'll drag the exhaust so that's gonna come out. It handles really well and bounces all over the place.

All the pics:
