Come on pimps and playaz lets keep it real. Back in the day EVERYBODY used to cut their springs, including me. Yeah its wack now cuz of all the options out there (lowering spring, coilovers etc) but I know way back in mid to late 90's thats how people did it. We all know the hazards and whatnot and I do agree completely with it and I would NEVER roll on cut springs again. And yeah I'm sure there has been many an accident because of them but there are many an accident with pretty much anything u do pertaining to modding the suspension. I know this much, I've had many cars including a CB all on cut springs and never had problems and thats not including all my other homies rolling the same damn way. And this was on stock ass shocks and no type of camber kits or alignments or not of that shit. But like I said, I in no way condone cutting springs as a matter of fact I am completely against it. But come on yall are putting just a little too much topping on the entire subject. And to be honest I think most of you have never even rolled on cut springs and are just repeating what everybody else is saying.

In general I would not recommend cutting springs though

I've got KYB AGXs on Ground Controls. Good setup..not the BEST. But def. doesn't cost the most either. Konis cost a grip of money. KYBs w/ GCs don't. I spent about 600 on my setup. GCs i bought used and KYBs I bought new.
I lowered my car back in Aug. 2005 and its still doing fine, w/ no leaks in any of the shocks. Mileage then was approx 140k and I've got about 195k on the car now.
