Should i cut factory springs
Hello everyone,
i purchased new 20" rims and tires; spent a bundle, but i want to lower the z especially the rear 1".
I was thinking of purchasing eibach pro kit springs which lowers
1" front and rear, but can't spend the money including installation.
I was also considering having the factory springs cut, aligned and save money, but worried if not a good ideal.
I would apprciate anyone's input and comments.
Thanks in advance for your help!

lowering springs are too cheap to resort to these kinds of methods.

Allow me to justify the 20's. I wanted 19's, but I got a great deal on Hyper Mesh Black rims with Falken 452's and took it. The car looks good, the ride is perfect, it just needs about 1.3 inch lower on the rear, the front is OK. The rims are not anchors as they weigh 4lbs more than the factory and the Z gets lot's of looks and compliments.
Believe me when I say I did not want 20's, but now I must say, a good decision.
Email me to 123@EFmiami.com and I'll send you some pic's for your review. Thanks

P.S. I decided to go with Tanabe Springs with a 1" drop for front and 1.2" drop for rear.
I was considering Eibach, but after further review, the Tanabe are a better fit.

Don't forget about the needed camber kit for slamming your ride.

Thanks
I appreciate your response and one can't do much on opinions. Some have great feedback and one or two are just punks. They need to respond as men/adults and leave your negativity where it belongs; you know where.
Thanks again.
