Cutting springs??

I always thought it was a bad idea to cut your springs but I see some people still do it

Actually its a waste to cut factory springs you;d have to cut too much to mae a difference.. Just use Eibach's right out the box you car will sit pretty. They are only about $250 for the set.

I have cut Eibach's on a C and CLK that I once owned but only 3inches.. to get the extra 1/2" drop I was looking for. But cut factory springs?? forget about it.

Hope those are aftermarket springs.. Must ride like sh*t when you cut stock springs.
