Re: cutting springs
Bad Idea. 3 inches is the most your control arms can handle.

Re: cutting springs
If you must cut the most you can cut is one coil other than that you need lowering spindles and srop springs.

Re: cutting springs
It will. Save your money and get dropped spindles and do it right.
