I just cant believe anyone would cut springs down in this day & age, with so many proper manufactured lowering springs available and so cheaply.
If your that skint, how the hell did you buy the car and afford to insure it and put juice in it ffsk !
Surely you can afford some apex coils for approx £119 for all 4 ?

Lol one of my colleagues at work was telling me how he got his Ford Fiesta Zetec S springs cut when he was younger and didn't know what the hell the garage was doing ... yes a dodgy mechanic did this for him! Let's just say he sold the car 3 days after enduring a hellish ride ..... take everybody's advice get some decent springs when you can mate.
