my friend has a 97 civic ex and wants to lower it one inch on stock wheels and tires by cutting the stock springs. I told him this is a dumb idea, but he insists it can be done, and i know it can too, just dont condone it. He IS going to cut his springs no matter what so i at least want him to do it the rightt way, if there IS a right way? any input would be helpfull so he doesnt kill himself using a spring compressor. thanks
