Cutting H&R springs

Has anyone cut lowered springs? Does it make it bounce a lot? What the best tool to cut with?[IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]

I have, my ride is actually still the same. Sprint Springs.....

Someone correct me in this, but i heard that it's ok to cut progressive springs... or was it the other way?

Anyway, there's a suspension forum, search there.

its usually ok to cut progressive springs... just remember to cut the coils that are closer together. a few people have cut the rear neuspeed sport sedan springs to make the drop even on the coupe.. this is what neuspeed even recommended. not sure with H&Rs but neuspeed has dead coils(coils that touch together), and these have no effect on the spring other then ride height
