    They look great, but I agree that they would look better in one color. They remind me of SSR Formula Mesh.

            Ok, biggest myth in automotive tuning. Ever heard of dead coils? They are just that, dead. They do absolutely nothing for the ride or spring rate. Therefor cutting them is ok. Do a little research before you flame. I've been building and tuning cars for over 15 years, I've done my research and learned through experience. If you buy springs that have dead coils, it is OK to cut a dead coil or two off the springs to get the right ride height. There is no ill effect what so ever. You just have to make sure you don't let the spring get too hot while cutting, if you cut a little, cool, cut a little more and repeat until you are through the spring does not weaken and the rate does not change.

              Hmmm...IMHO, white cars and gold wheels look sweet. But, you do have a black and white motif going on on your car so gunmetal or black could also look good. You should P-shop them before you actually paint them.
