    Thumbs up help cutting rear coils to slammm it

    Bought a new VP SS from a guy who said it had engine work don but when I drive it slow it bunny hops like your pressing the accelerator on and off I think it might have a bad spark plug or something. Anyway I want to lower it and my mate said you just need to cut a few coils out with a grinder or something but he didn't say how many. I want to know how many you cut out to get it real low not too low mainly enough to handle good like a car should also I'll get some pics up soon to show it off it's got some nice 20s but there is some gutter bash marks on 3 I wanna get som e new ones or maneu paint em black to match the paint on the car and mabey tint the tail lights too so it looks real stealth please tell me what you think cheers!!

    im by no means an expert, but even i know cutting springs will f**k the car, your best bet is to just buy a set of low springs, and a set of shocks to match. ironically i just completed the back yesterday and the front will be done in a few hours time. it cost me 560 bucks off ebay for new king springs and monroe gt shocks for the vk, if im 17 and i can afford that, then surely someone who can afford to own a ss can afford it. hope this helps.

    Don't chop em bro its fail, other mods you want to do sound ok don't go too dark on the tail lights or some pissed c### who's texting will run up your ass and you will get the blame because of the lights. The hopping sounds like a spark issue to me.
