So your a regular on a 'lesser' site, but game here to ask about lowering??????!!!!!?????

what?

Oh, I get it.......
your used to idiots who post some wild hair post and everybody says how cool it is.

As opposed to a newbee w/ an off the wall post to cut his springs, with no data listed, no actual mpg listed and we were supposed to do what?
We offer intelegent and constructive advise and you go off?

Hey,I understand $$ being tight, but on a list of absolutely free things I can do to my car to get better mileage, cutting springs still wouldn't make top ten.
first, you have to get it aligned and that will cost $. and if it wont align, then your tires wear faster. And the ride will suck ALL the time.

I lowered the front 1.25" on my InfinitiQ45 with spring compressors that cost $10. I hated the ride on the first setting 1.5". So I got my wrench and took 10 minutes backing them off. Now I love the ride. And it helped my mpg because it dropped the front and not the rear.
But the best part is?????
I can go back to bone stock in 15 minutes with a wrench.


But hey, be a dork, cut your springs.
