Default Cut the front springs...

So, my front end was shooting to the moon and I didn't like the stance. The other night, I pulled the front springs off and cut 1 and 1/2 coils off of each. Put her back together and wow! What a nice change in the stance...drives better too! taking out 1 and 1/2 coils dropped in almost 3 inches! BUT...the only issue I have is the front tires rub - a lot! Not only when turning, but even on small bumps...So, I can't deal with that...so I just ordered a pair of CPP front springs with a 1.5 inch drop on them. I think they will do the job just fine, as the OEM coils were NEW...and not old droopy ones.

I will use the drop springs until I re-do the front suspension with QA1's.

I will post up some photos when I download them.

*And, just in case anyone wants my cut OEM springs when I get my new ones...just let me know!
