Wow, this is all very interesting. It seems like I may be up for some coil cutting. Does anyone have any pictures of their contours with their springs cut?

I'm running 18s and haven't dropped the car at all, so I've been looking around. I don't want to slam the car, but I want to have a reasonable drop to compensate for the gap. I've always thought that an inch would probably do the trick. It would at least get me back closer to the stock height, I went with 225/40/18s, so I'm slightly higher than stock.

So, what was the overall drop consensus? 3/4", 1", 1 1/4" ?

Thanks

(I really need to roll those fenders too!)





Thanks for the images. So you mearly got a 1/2 drop in the rear. Hrm. I suppose this is ok because every time I look at my car it always appears that the front is higher than the rear. Maybe it's because the back is more loaded than the front...nah. Anyway, this all sounds good to me. But I really need to roll my rear fenders before I get to the drop. How long did it take you to cut them? And did you cut from the top or from the bottom? By the way, are you rolling on 18's as well?

Anyway, thanks again.
