i wouldnt recomend cutting the king springs, just sell them as is and buy some ones that you want the ride height/firmness etc to be at....definatly NO on the cut though...IMO

mate do not cut lowering springs the ride is fu#ken hard and in my last car when I chopped jamex springs I broke two engine mounts and if you have a girlfriend she will hate you because all she will be doing is whinging about how sore her tits are

how much do you value your car?
if you cant justify $500 on springs, how can you justify the excess money it might cost if they fall out while driving because they're not captive?
IMHO do it right, or not at all

Plus you drive done the road woops you crash, Insurance company goes ah look at this cut springs DECLINED you pay for a $100,000 BMW or BENZ. I would rather buy lower springs.
Wot are you doing with kings anyway they fall out cause they can turn and slide over the cup that hold them in!!! Cutting them will make it worse.
Get some platforms or lower springs and get a cert that way no-one can complain if things ever turn to custard.
