Have been considering lowering the whole car because the front end sticks up like its pulling a wheel stand. Seems like the motor was out for a while and it has not settled back yet. Could i possibly trim say 1/2 a coil just to bring the front down or would this make the front too soft?

do not cut the springs. get a set of lowering springs instead.
Yea.. cutting the springs is SOOOOOO RICER.. lol

Thanks for the quick replies. I have some 2" springs, but I dont have the money right now for new lowering struts or a camber kit, thats why I was curious about trimming the front springs a little to get the front back down to stock height

1. your ride goes to ****s. 2. it's not very safe. and with 2" springs, you're right; you're going to need lowering struts. i'd argue that you won't need the camber kit though. but still, the struts will cost you a pretty penny. imo, stick with what you've got now until you have the money to get the struts.
^^ Ding Ding..
Diddo. Couldnt have said it my self.

just save your money til you can afford new struts, (kyb, tokico...) because you WILL blow your stock ones with a 2" drop
and dont be so fast to assume that you'll need a camber kit.
i'm lowerd 2-2.25" with no camber kit needed :biggrin: :tongue:

LOL!
*covers mouth*
Sorry. Yeah'd defiantely say it sat without a motor or someone put the wrong springs/struts on it. Did you buy it like that? Like they said before, get the struts and springs at the same time. You AND your car will be glad you did.

have you taken any of the suspension out at any point??
if you did, it might not have seated properly when you put it back in.
