LOL THAT'S AWESOME

i like how you cut the springs while they were still COMPRESSED ROFL "bang"

yeah this is definitely one of those times you should be stating the obligatory "don't try this at home kids".

you will definitely be hitting the bump stops if you're not already riding on them (this is the difference between cut stock springs and lowering springs - the spring rate here isn't high enough to keep your suspension from going too far and hitting those bump stops). worse, the springs might fly out of the perches in the rear over bigger bumps / jumps, and it would be an epic disaster if this occured. but you knew that.

regardless, it looks great. you knew full well that it would ride like ass and that you would be bouncing all around so that's taken care of. just be careful out there is all - it might be pretty unpredictable when your suspension bottoms out and handling becomes erratic.
