I was in a similar situation, i just started to do mods on mines and decided to go first with springs. I was going to get the NF210's and cut them but I went for the DF's
gave me the drop that I was looking for and still rides descent, the change is like about 15 % from stock. I've known guys that have cut them and is not that bouncy.

Don't cut it man, Just wait till you get your coilovers. as Chris said, at least you will have some extra money in your pocket when you install coilovers later on...

Too late I think. He already cut the springs and now he's bouncing!! I have the same set up, so its good to see what happens to others before you make a mistake. Sorry bud but lesson learned!!

Lesson learned I guess.
hahah yea or offer them for free

I didnt really think it through. It was one of those boring Sundays at my friends house. The car does look a lot better now tho.

I bought the car with NF springs. If it was up to me I would have gotten Stance or Megan coilovers. A member on here is selling cut DF springs. Im thinking of getting them for a quick fix til I have enough for coilovers.
