    Well, when you have blown shocks, you look like a complete jackass. I had 2 fully blown shocks up front with stock springs. Looked like it would pull a wheelie every time I floored it. The back sinks down and the front just raises to the max. I seriosuly had everyone watching me laugh.

        and it's not exactly the best thing for your car either.
        My mountains are better than yours.

          Being that he said he doesn't really care how it affects his car, and that all he wants is looks, I was tyring to point out that the appearance department sucks too :P

            99%. I would say gauranteed(sp?) but then again, someone might come up and say that they haven't blown their shocks yet. BMW BMXer :P
            Whats this you say?

            Just to make it clear to everyone. I have Blistien Sports up front. And some mystery ones out rear. I most definatly would not use stockers up front with aftermarket springs. I like my oilpan.

            My front stockers were blow before I had eibachs and it was disgusting.

            I saw go with the heating and weight. I just wanna see it.
            I am not responsible for any mishaps that happen from my advice.

            Sold it.

              LMFAO Cutting your springs is beyond rice man, that's like....Yeah, what Jordan said. Don't do it man. If you want to cut springs go buy a trashed CRX and have a ball. ;)
