When cutting springs one changes the rates.Hints, ride quality, breaking distance, and handling can be greatly diminished. This DIY can be unpredictable.
This is just my opinion, and I thought I would offer my 2cents. All I can say is do your research.
Correct and well done performance comes with a price tag.
Amen!
Prepare for the hoarde of unwashed spring-cutting masses to come tell you the error of your ways...
