the only time to cut springs is when there is NO OTHER OPTION AVAILABLE, as in no springs or coilovers are made.....

DO NOT CUT THE SPRINGS!!!! You will regret it and then kick yourself. Don't do it, JUST to get the look of a slammed car. Better to save up for a set of megans or something like that. You will thank everyone for telling you to go the cheaper coilover route.

TANABES! i wouldnt b happy with just an inch drop. tanabe is 1.8 front 1.5 rear. awesome stance too! of course if u can afford coilovers, go for that.
