Heated, you take a torch to the spring to compress them. With the car sitting on the ground it will slowly just heat and compress. You messure before and during to get the desired hight.

Cutting, is what it sounds like. You are taking about a coil or two out to lower the car.

The only issue, just like buying lowering springs, ride quality could suffer. Bounce bounce.

D.O. Love the ride, pics look Sick. Debadge looks clean, compliments that nice paint job. Did you spray your tails, they look real clean?

Sup with interior shots?

keep it up man.

yeah that is indeed a downfall. but i think the heated springs although bouncy aren't as harsh as cut springs. cut springs feel like they're gonna... cut something on my body. lol

Actually i got my paint guy to paint over the original red and orange with mixture of red/black/clear to get that glossy red finish.
as for interior shots... i wont have any until i reupholster the seats and maybe get new carpet. because the car is 19 years old and because of those two things the interior looks 27
