    Lee....

    Some people have "cut" off a coil or 2 from the springs to get that "extra" low look..... But i personally wouldnt recommend it, you have to be very carefull that the springs still sit in the locating cups top and bottom.

    Mine have been cut down on the back but I don't know by how much, the springs still sit in the cups, however if you jack it up you need to make sure the springs sit properly when you lower it back down again. The springs are 40mm Eibach's, I still have Nivomats on the back so I don't know what it'll be like when I repace them,lol....
