i agree with what your saying, all i ment was with certain springs ive cut its lowered the car and also made it stiffer. i wouldnt advise on cutting springs that pig tail at the end as you would have to heat them up and bend them to get them to seat right which obviously will weaken them.

Lower doesnt mean better handling

i thouroughly agree, the amount of times i hear that from friends who have coilovers or springs that short there car rests on the bumpstops, fair enough it might go round a completely flat corner like a gokart but on any other normal road etc there sh*te.

all i was trying to say is that i personally think it safe to cut springs aslong as they will sit right and aslong as you still have plenty of travel left, if the spax springs didnt set you back much and your willing to experiment why not give it a go (on private land of course, just incase. lol)
