I will get pics for sure this week and the ride is the exact same as before so just a very tad bit stiffer than stock but nothing worth really mentioning.

I would highly reccomend doing this if you have Tanabe nf 210's!

Looks really good, I just cant see my self buying a spring/strut cumbo and still not be satisfied and cut off half a link just seems like waste of money. Not trying to bash its just my opinion car still looks good.

Just because its a super reliable set up that will last another 70k miles or more which I am a bit tired of having coilovers needing rebuilds all the time but it's just my opinion and yea I am sure some coilovers may last a long time but just not my taste as this is not a stance car or a track car so the need is not there for them.

I love the ride of these as they are close to stock in feel but everyone has different taste in suspension and I most likely have a bias opinion as I am a mechanic by trade so I am more focusd on reliability.

i never been a fan of chopping anything. but i just put 19's on my car on stock struts and springs and its monster truck status!

i wonder if i can get away with a half coil cut to get it down to something reasonable till i can find a good strut and spring combo like what i've seen on this thread discussed hmmm.

i can fit like 4 fingers between the fender and the tire. im telling you, i can go mudding with this car! lol needs to be lowwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

by the way. i think xspsi's height looks good. thats the stance im looking for. my wheels are plus 20's all around. fronts are flush. but the rears do have a bit of a poke. lol dont want my car sitting on the tire

I am not so sure about cutting live coils on stock suspension as I just cut dead coils which do nothing really other than control height but have nothing to do with the actual spring rate and cutting a live coil will affect spring rate and make it bounce or ride stiff however I have in the past cut live at some customers request and it turned out ok but I can't recomend it.
