Default cutting springs

i have an '02 lancer and i want it dropped but i dont feel like paying for springs especially if i have to get a camber at the same time so i was wondering if there is anyone out there that can cut my springs for me? just a temporary solution until everything for my car gets cheaper...

dont fuck around. Those springs where ment to work at that height. Quit being a cheap bastard and buy some springs. If you cannot afford it, custimizing your car is not for you.

when you cut the springs you are shortening the distance that the spring has to travel, which in turn will make a less pleasant ride.

dont cut them take a torch and heat them- do them on the car, use a ruler so you get the same all the way around, done several cars this way and never had any problems

i have tein s-tech springs on my car and they work fine. and you don't need to mess with camber until you drop your car more than 3 inches. mine dropped 2 inches and i didn't have to change the camber
