[QUOTE="RDJ, post: 4442541, member: 5905"] Cutting the stock springs is NOT a good idea. there are lots of idiots that do it but you change the dynamics of the spring when you cut them, they do not perform in the same way and you change the rate on them as well. I don't know all the engineering aspects of it but I do remember being told by people who have been in the Cobra arena a very long time that cutting the original springs was a bad idea. Just because you have cut your springs and have not had any issues yet does not make it a good idea .. it means you have been lucky, nothing more. As others have said .. don't be cheap ... get replacement lowering springs that have not been modified. I have H&R springs on my 95 and Maximum Motorsports coilovers on my 04. I would recommend the coil overs since you can adjust your ride height with them from under the car [/QUOTE]
