    Seen that dodged up top hat mod a few times on USDM cars, shit wouldn't last 5 minutes on our roads

    worst i've seen in nz was springs cut in place, and to do so, part of the chassis was cut in order to reach spring

    What an idiot. That steel he used it way to thin and will bend way to easy. If I was to do it that way id make sure I used atleast 7mm thick steel so that it cant bend.
    Don't listen to what I say, I make shit up as I go.

    Seriously? I could almost imagine someone trying that with double wishbones as the shock doesn't really essentially hold anything in place, but with struts
