    Cut springs on 2gee -- let's science this

    I'm thinking of doing a mild cut along with Koni Special inserts from classicgarage.com.

    The goal is modest, just a bit more stiffness and bringing the wheel gap down to sane amounts. I don't want the springs to be too hard for the dampers and destroy the ride and handling.

    Near as I can tell I may want 1-1.5 coils off to accomplish this. I'm also not sure about cutting the same or different amount of coil between front/rear to make the car sit evenly.

    Heres 1 and a half off the front and back. i have been driving like this daily for about 4 months and the damper is still fine. just a little bouncy cause im still using stock struts.
