If i were to cut my stock springs 1/2 inch would it really drop it as much as a full new set of springs.
Also how hard does it ride if you cut your springs.
I am almost ready to go buy eibachs but if i can do it myself then i will. I love to work on my own cars.

NEVER cut your springs...
The reduced travel needs to be compensated with a stiffer spring rate - that's why aftermarket springs are designed the way they are.
If you use cut springs you'll run the risk of having the spring collapse under the weight of the car.
This is why you shouldn't cut your springs:

If you want an aggressive drop go with H&R if you want a moderate drop go with Eibach. With both you will have ugly front wheel gap. There is a thread I started a while back(which SHOULD have been made a STICKY)where forum members posted their suspension set ups.
