Okay I know I need to lower it another inch, I actually dont want it too low due to the route I take to work. Anyhow should I cut the springs or should I buy new springs? I need you guys expertise on this. Keep in mind I will shave the rear fenders.

If you're cutting your springs enough to have to do fender mods then I'd say get coils lol. The bounce on cut springs to that degree will result in horrid ride quality, unless you like bouncing up and down on every bump. 1 inch will not require modding your fenders and for that fact, not even cutting coils. They have springs that do more than 1 inch drops. Honestly, I'd say spend the extra 400 - 500 to get coils. The rears aren't really the ones you need to be careful with. It's the fronts because they turn as you can see from my thread lol

Yes, just saving you the hassle. You want to drop it like its hot, trust me. Look at my thread and see the crazy difference it does to the car. Plus if you want to go really low on springs, you have no adjustments to your stock struts for a stiffer suspension and you'll rub the ish out of your fenders.

If money needs to be saved for coils, wait and save my friend. You will not be sorry lol. Tons of people end up selling their springs and getting coils after.

Nice start to your car. like many have said, just go with coils to save yourself trouble. I can't seem to figure out if I like your wheels or not. I think the white lip is a little too much especially since the shade doesn't really match your paint. However, an aggressive kit with a lower drop may change my mind.

Yeah if it's your wife she may complain regardless when you drop it. But maybe not, if you're already on low pros, you should be feeling the bumps. I went with Megan LP coils. Have it set at the stiffest setting possible to allow for no play on bumps. I dropped it 2 in the back or little more and 3ish in the front. I actually don't know the exact inch. I just thumbs up or thumbs down the guy that did it. Installation was 225.
