Default cut springs?

what do you guys think of stock springs being cut? Any pros about it? How about the cons?

You gotta be kidding me!

But if you're not joking, you have to know, there's no way to accurately cut them to equal lengths. And since they are progressive, you will have a completely different feel. Either really squishy, or really.... squishy... It's just ghetto and cheap when you can get some decent lowering springs for about 100 bucks... Don't cheap out. You will regret it after a few days...

Don't cut corners, just go and buy some performance springs. I don't believe there is any pros on this situation.

Done it, don't recommend it. Cheap coil-overs are sh*t too. Lesson learned. "You can learn a lot from a dummy"

Cut your springs! This was the best mod I have done! Next, I am going to put my JRSC pulley on my metal lathe and take about an inch off the diameter and get that thing really spinning.

Cut springs = ghetto. Lowering springs cost not even $100 these days. And if you can't afford that you probably can't afford insurance or gas and shouldn't be driving anyway.
