You know you dont know the answer to everything you know! You need some serious

? Go back to searching ebay for parts. Springs are not a good idea for performance, it's that simple. Go to an autocross and tell someone you want to install some springs and see what they say.

We're not being tough guys, we've simply read all the threads on suspension tech and don't want people to make bad choices, maybe when you have more than 32 posts you'll understand. Yes there are people who have shocks and springs, but they actually have the luxury of owning a car where this is possible. Springs will blow your struts out, it may take a month or may take a year but eventually it will happen. At this point you have to buy new shocks if you want anywhere near decent handling and ride quality. The price of shocks and springs is very close to the price of a set of coilovers, in fact if you go NEX it's more.

yea all the information is obvious. And sorry If Im too busy driving my car to have over 4000 posts. What does my amount of posts have to do with anything haha.

Once you have something intelligent to say, let me know. EVERYBODY knows springs will ruin the struts. You dont need 4108 posts to know that. I was telling the guy to buy springs if he wants to because its his money

What the hell is your problem? Of course it is his choice, I'm not putting a gun to his head, I'm simply saying springs are a bad idea. If someone told you they were going to cut their springs would you advise them against or just grin like an idiot?

/thread.

While everyone's been busy measuring ***** size, the OP hasn't even responded. So he either got what he needed or hasn't been back.
