    I don't think you can cut them, the spring needs to sit in a certain spot on the bottom and the top gets smaller in diameter. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong though.

    You all should have just gotten the eibach springs they give a better even drop and ride the best out of all lowering springs (except coil overs of course)

    they are progressive springs they should ride the smoothest. they lower more though so obviously the lower you go the less forgiving the ride will be.

    My springs ride just fine, and I'm kinda picky about that since it's my daily driver. No complaints other than the high rear end, but I'm working on that.

    Eibach is one of the worst springs you can buy for fbody's, they also lower more than typical lowering springs for those cars. So I figured it was the same deal with wbody's.

    Meh well it hasn't gone down at all since yesterday so I snapped some pictures. Wish the rear would get lower but I don't think that's happening. I'll keep the weight in the trunk for a week anyway.

    Yeah mine was too. Mine raised a half inch I believe. But what happens is the fronts lowered which raises the rear, is my guess. So idk if it'd be still the same with the stock rears. Get what I'm saying?

    No, it doesn't happen that way. Seeing as they were $85, my guess would be that they were designed without the weight difference in mind from front to rear.

    Oh alright. Well idk why all the springs are lower on one end or the other. It's stupid, I wish I could find some that were just even or a little lower in front than rear. I'm at a loss for which ones to replace with. You gonna deal with it or what's your plan?

    If I were you I'd get SSC's. I'll give it some time but probably just live with it. It's not preferred but doesn't look awful I guess.
