Cut muffler... off, cut springs.
Cheap, tough sounding, looking car ;)

Considered, keeping body as is and slipping in a supercharged 5.7l under the bonnet for a fine sleeper look :D

What the **** is with people chopping springs, if buying a set of King Springs breaks your budget that much, you shouldn't be worrying about car modification in my opinion.

Springs are one of the cheaper mods you can do, if it's gonna hurt your wallet that much, give up on car modification. Don't chop springs, it's dangerous and not worth it IMO, when you can just buy King Srings for **** all.

I think we've gotten to a stage where there is just way too much American rubbish being shown on our TV....they have every backyard mechanics there chopping things up, grinding, welding, building a modified vehicle then show everybody how they did it. The one thing all these rubbish shows never tell you is, being such a heavily modified car, how would you know the car is still safe? Will it still pass the crash test that the original stock car the manufacturer says that it should provided the car was using the original settings, parts etc?

There are regulations and laws in place in Australia such as ADRs and they are there for a very good reason.
1) To prevent you from hurting yourself in your car.
2) Prevent other people from being hurt by the things you've done to your car.

This works both ways. Others don't want to be hurt by you, and you probably don't want to get hurt by others so you can go home, have a beer, watch tv, write posts on JC...etc.

Is cutting corners to save a bit of money so you can drive a modified car worth the pain and suffering should something fail?
