Compromises the integrity of the spring. Completely changes the engineering and R&D that went into the design and production of the spring. Completely changes the spring rate. If you crash, and your insurance company finds out you were riding around on cut springs, they are not likely to pay your claim.

Leave cut springs for Honda Civic owners.

These are not reps..these are real Miro 111 wheels (although only $900 USD new for a set)

Thanks for the feedback!

H&R kit is a good way to go. That's how I lowered mine a few years back. Ride is great and change in center of gravity feels good.

I like the before wheels, too bad they're not 20's, the new wheels don't get me excited for some reason, they're definitely too narrow for my liking, but if you're happy I'm happy.

I'm confused? The 'before wheels' pictured are the same ones..just with smaller tires mounted on them..

Thank you though!
