If you can, don't cut them. The spring rates will be screwed and the car will bottom. When it bottoms, its dangerous, things are stressed and start breaking. The struts will be gone in no time. It will cost you more in the long run to drive around on cut springs.

For springs, i would check with

www.shox.com



they always seem to have the best prices.. I installed a set of Suspension techniques springs on another 1982 GSL-- and the tires started rubbing...





For different trans and engine mounts go here...

I have a set of these engine mounts for my RX-3.. and when i figure out how i am going to mount my trans i may end up needing his trans mount too.

I am running the Suspension Techniques springs. They drop the car 1". I like the ride of the Eiback springs better, but not enough of a difference to pay the increased cost. Nopi usually sells the springs for something like $175.



...or follow the link and purchase them from here....

scroll down to the bottom of the 1st page. The price is a grunt higher, but you are supporting the community.
