Hey ludensol, how much of your springs did you cut? Im on KYB/DF210s and wanna sit a bit lower in the front. How did you cut them?

guys please don't cut your springs. You're sacrificing so much ride quality. Not to mention your throwing the designed spring rate out the window. Bump stops, strut mounts, and an array of other suspension components are going to take an absolute beating......

What springs would you recommend that I switch to that would sit a little lower than the DF210s?

You know, honestly I'm not 100% sure. I thought the DF210's were pretty low for just a spring drop. I'm on Eibach pro kit springs, and they are pretty low. I know adjustable coil overs are expensive, but they would be the best avenue to go with, unless you're curious about air...but both of these are expensive....

I think there might have been 2 different sets of DF210s. Im not sure though. Your fronts seem much lower than mine.
