Nothing wrong with cutting springs as long as you know what you're doing. Just don't cut randomly to the point where the spring rate is so damn high that you'll be bouncing around every bump.

No matter what, Heating or cutting. It's stupid. companies would not spend all the R&D if it was simply put to cut the stock springs in "correct" places.

If you are cheap and want to think about cutting springs, atleast get some crap springs of ebay.

They don't cut springs because they don't achieve specific spring rate and drop height. When working with one spring, you can cut the spring to lower your car however much you want, but your spring rate is going to be more or less than what you want. If you cut the spring to get the desired spring rate, your height will most likely be off this time around.

Springs are nothing more than metal coils. If you're trying to achieve a drop but dont care about spring rates, then cutting springs is no different than the manufacturer cutting their own springs. The difference is, one wants X specs while the company want Y specs.

This doesn't mean I condone cutting/heating springs because I don't. More than likely, someone is going to cut randomly and get a horrible spring rate that doesn't match their shock's damping rate. But if it's for aesthetic reasons, then it won't matter too much if the owner is okay with the potential horrible ride. If top notch handling is the goal, then skip with spring cutting because chances are, your car is not going to have the right suspension geometry afterwards.

Just look at your local craigslist for some cheap springs.

Sent you a PM bro. I have some very nice springs which would be a very nice drop for a good price.

I'm also looking for lowering springs and I would advise you to get springs that wont lower your car more than an inch because then ull have to get a camber kit and possible ball joints etc. Im guessing if your budgeted for springs your not gonna want to spend more on suspension parts. From my research on forums and talking to shops, if its more than an inch drop on the IS then you wont be able to do an alignment and get it back into spec, which means ull get uneven tire wear and can ruin your suspension. Do your research before you buy just any old springs. But IMO def get some kind of springs to drop the ride...itll look way more aggressive.
