    Lowering my car in San Diego...

    I needed to get a spring pad/dead coil cut in the SD area, not sure where to go.

    Any help?

      never never never cut coils. H&R sport springs are cheap enough and the car will perform significantly better

          I also need someone to make me a straight pipe, getting my car smogged in 2 weeks then going straight pipes.

            IE Stage 3 = H&R Race, which are lower than H&R Sport to the best of my knowledge

                if you want lower than race springs i imagine your best bet is coils.

                    You can safely cut a coil off IE3's. I think Janderson did that too his car.
                    IE3 and Race's have the same spring rate, but IE3's are a tad higher than Race.

                    And I think I might be selling my exhaust setup soon if you're interested.

                      I have IE headers then stock cat to mangaflow muffler... looking to just do a cat delete.

                      I'll probably cut the dead coil off, not much of a choice for me. :(

                            Not an option, I have to cut them or buy cheap springs that will be a lot lower.
