you can cut the coils......Neuspeed even says that it is safe to cut one or two dead coils but im not too positive on the race. I heard that it was ok on some neuspeed springs.

The dead coils are on the top side of these springs and the top coil which rests on the uppermounts are flat. Cutting the dead coils on the top would mean that you no longer have the flat surface to sit them nicely on the uppermounts. I wouldn't cut the lower coil as it is not a dead coil(I could be wrong though).

buy good struts to start with such as tokico or koni then maybe TEIN or coilovers but if your gonna do coilovers please do the full assembly

If you want to go lower, then sell it for full coilovers.

Race springs are lowest drop you can get.

May I ask why is it that everyone keeps recommending full coilovers and not the sleeves like ground controls? Aren't GC+Konis the ultimate setup one can ever get?

^it varies on personal perference.

GC + koni can have some advantages/disadvantages over other full coilover setups. i would say no one recommends sleeved coilovers (exclude GC) because most members here would ride them on stock shocks which none of us recommend. but if they mention sleeved coilovers AND shocks to go with it, then im sure the GC and koni combo will be mentioned. rumors also has it that skunk2 sleeved coilovers arent compatiable with aftermarket shocks (kybs and tokicos)


the greater advantage of full coils... the spring and shock match perfectly whether your slammed or dropped .5"



never cut spring(s).. thats the worse you can do with them...
i'd look into a full coilover setup or another spring/shock combo and sell your race springs. with tokico blues, i think your already stressing it enough with the race 2" drop as their meant to handle 1.75" at most. but i guess thats just recommendations for max performance results?

Ignore everyone giving advice on coilovers as that was not your question. I use to have coilovers didn't like the ride comfort, so i got springs, besides I would rather spend 1k on other mods.

I also have Neuspeed race springs and i don't like the small gap in the front either, i know it's only like less then a finger on mine but i would like it to sit as low as the rear (no gap and no tucking, just perfect.)

I would take Italy273 and Garyc17's advice. Dead coils are useless, their purpose is to keep your tires on the ground in dips (not potholes). I too am thinking about cutting them in the front, probably one coil as it will drop it the thickness of the coil, remember it's a dead coil. As far as it been flat on the top side, who cares, stock springs didn't have a flat side at least mine didn't.
