I've thought about cutting my Neuspeed Softsport springs. I heard that they are the same as the sports except for the extra 'dead coil'. I want my car lower, but I'm on a budget right now. How did you go about cutting your springs anyway? How did you make sure you cut off the right amount on each spring?
