Just buy a used set of eibachs form the want adds on contour.org. Aside from that, they will never fit right if you cut them and you may be risking your life or worse yet someone elses....... 98 SE BAT Big Brake Kit "C", Throttle Hang Fix, B&M Shifter, Lightly Cracked Secondaries, BAT Euro Handling Kit, 20% tint, Removed Ding Strips, ES Motor Mount Inserts, Borla CatBack, Apexi SAFC, HighTower Rear Brace, BAT 19mm rear bar, MSDS Headers & Y, AFE 20-35008 filter, ClutchMasters Stage 1, Fidanza FlyWheel, SVT T.B. ====OnOrder==== svt uppers and lowers,
