It's really not that big of a deal, if he wants to do this, it is totally up to him. No reason to ban, no reason to shun, it's purely his choice. Who gives a fuck!

Seriously? yes it is a bad idea, but i know some people do cut springs and i have seen people welding a cup area to the rear control arm like an e36, i just thought that i would try something else by welding that tail back on. If it fails and brakes.. oh well cant do anything about it. I dont need these. I already have different springs/coilovers on.

"breaks"

[willworkfore30s]

Exactly.

Plenty of people run cut pigtail springs without bothering to weld them. I've seen some creative solutions, from wire, to self taping screws and brackets. Either way, even if the weld brakes, the car hits a huge bump, the suspension unloads, and the spring falls out, the worst that will happen is the car will bottom out on the bump stops.

Will it handle well with cut springs? Possibly not, but it certainly won't be as bad as many love to claim. And is he putting himself, or anyone else at risk? No

Yeah, or he could just be cruising when the spring gives, both springs could go at one time and the ass could drop and all he gets is a bump and everything is cool. Or (most likely) the springs could go at different times. If he is at speed when one side snaps it could send the car into a slide and cause who knows what kind of harm to him and other people on the road.

^ This. Ever seen what an E30 looks like without any rear springs or shocks in it? Driving it would be a challenge to say the least.
