I put mine on without modification. The biggest bitch was pulling out the ball joints!

I put at least 5 sets of these on. Not one problem.

To lower your coilovers all the way then you will need to cut the front spring pirch.

No you don't have to. Unless you want to lower it 4". The fact is, if you lower it 4", you're bottoming out your front and rear shocks. No matter what kind of shocks you have. Lower it 2.5" front and 2.25 rear. That's the maximum you could do without sacrificing your ride too much. Trust me....and look at my ride
