Suspension Techniques Springs

Post by mazdasport »

I dont know how many people have these, but I just put a set on a few months ago, and they arent as low as I thought they were going to be. A friend told me to cut a coil off, but I havent ever done this so I was wondering if this is a good idea or not.
