well then get some coilovers...I'm running on some Ground Control coilovers with KYB AGX's and it rides pretty good. I have my car lowered just enough to feel in the wheel gap with plenty more room for lowering

cut springs are always bad because most springs are variable spring rates - they are soft at the top, and get progressively stiffer the farther down you go. when you cut them, 1, it changes the spring height, and 2, you're losing the progression. basically, springs are designed to be a whole spring. cutting is just plain wrong.

i don't know much about coilovers. i do know skunk2 is supposed to be REALLY aggressive. they're good shit, from what i hear... i'm hoping someone with more personal experience will chime in. if you're looking for a better look with a comfortable ride, and not so much for race-track performance, skunk2 might be too aggressive (harsh riding) for your taste. but again, i want someone who KNOWS to chime in.
