    fixt.

    fronts are okay, so long as you're cutting only the dead coils at the expense of increasing spring rate.

    Rears, as mentioned, have to follow a specific shape to maintain their mounting. OP, just get rear coil springs without adjusters.

    haha, I would be pretty worried about those rear springs but shit it's your car not mine.

    Oh, and nice glass lol

    cutting springs is not bad at all! i cut 2 off the front and in the back of my stock ones and felt just fine.

    Friend of mine does inspections. Someone brought their e30 in with cut rear springs. He put it on the lift for inspections and immediately the rear springs fell out. Needless to say it didn't pass...

    Lowering springs are long enough to keep contact with both spring seats when the shock is fully extended but a softer spring rate, cut springs are not. This is the only unsafe thing I see. Also the springs are tapered.

    In the front the second loop is noticeably bigger in diameter than the first and does not fit in the strut well. This concerns me. Yes I did it. Once. Never again...
    lol, i've got some air many times and they haven't fell out yet but i know what you mean. i know they're a different size i had to cut the other piece off after, i measured them both the same. i'm also getting some coilovers with in the next few weeks, it's only temporary.
