more specifically. then sell your prokits so the springs only turn out half price-believe me, thats DIRT cheap to do it right.

thanks homie...that is real cheap..... i was just askin about cutting them.... i wasnt sure if i wanted to do it..... the only reason why was becasue i was tired of my car still looking all 4x4 and i spent like 300$ to lower it.... but yeah i think i am going to go with Neuspeeds.... no shocks yet...but i am going to swtich the springs.....
