you can figure that 4 yourself. if you put your car against a properly lowered car you will notice the difference. when u cut springs it doesnt just effect your handling it effects your braking,spring rebound,steering response, body roll+ heaps more. the braking efficancy has got a lot to do with the energy absorbed by the springs. if your springs not doing its job it effects your bracking servierly. if spring were meant to be cut they would be sold off the shelf cut. and as 4 having them trapped , things fu** up on cars all the time so how do you know there gona stay trapped. instead of wasting your time screwin with every one elses lives that drive past or next to you wake up to your self and do the one thing every one should with springs and do it right. they only cost you about $90 dollars a pair. you obviously dont know what your f***in with so get a suspension shop to do it for you when your at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
