Default Stupid Question about TEIN HA

I'm gonna pick up TEIN HA from GSNAV tomorrow. What I know is that the HA drop only 1.4 front and 2.1 rear. I want it to be lower so I want to cut it but I'm not sure that I still have the same ride or not. My friend cut his TEIN to slam his NSX and the ride still pretty smooth but I don't know about LEXUS. So my question is do i get the same ride and should i cut it?

umm......

1) the tein HA drops a lot more than that.... you can slam your car very bad with the HA
2) never ever ever ever ever ever cut springs, it change the springs rate pretty bad, and doing it on coilover system is way worse.... you screw up everything imho

just get the HA, put it on, and slam the car, you can go low

weird i thought he sold the HA and now having the flex... i didn't know he's even on the forum still?

Check out the pics of my GS on Tein HAs. front is maxed out in the pics and the rear is 2 revolutions from the bottom. I don't think you need to cut the springs

Hey M3 you said that you max out the front is that mean you adjust it all the way down or just leave like an inch on the coil?
