This will seem like a ricer question but that alright because it's for my g/f car. She has a 93 SI hatch. She wants to get rid of the ugly wheel gap but does not want to be springs or any set-up right now. Remeber, She 's a girl and perforamnce really isn't a first to her. She just wants to look good. I have a second set of springs for that car. How much should i cut off to give it a lower stance without killing strut travel. Anybody have instructions. I dont know how to cut springs and im actuallly think its dumb but it's what she wants.

oh man. don't cut the springs. Just buy some halfway decent ones for like 100 bucks.

she might not care about performance .... but think of how much she'll be bitching when her car rides like shit
