I have a 82 GSL and I want to get it as low as I can for as cheap as I can! Is cutting the stock springs the way to go? My shocks are pretty new. Any suggestions, Id like to get it an inch lower and Id be happy. Carl

rofl, he has a point, cuting the springs works but is a horribly bad way to do things.

The Eibach Pro Kit springs are really cheap. $200 is cheap for springs, IMO.



It's what I have on my car.

If you're mechanically inclined and really want it low, look into

the Racing Beat strut tower extension kit. Lots of work but really

slams the car (at the front anyway). Just watch out for ball joint

to wheel/tire clearance (it's tight). Excellent handling improvement.

yeah dont cut, the best way is to get some springs or get the groundcontrol coilovers.

Looks like the best way to go is just buy some performance springs.
