How does that work? YOu make a statement "stock springs are not progressive spring rate" which is 100% WRONG and now you find the "forum is pretty much useless to (you) now". Right.

Just don't take too many hard corners or you'll end up like the dumb ass kid who was in the Toronto Sun awhile ago. Cut his aftermarket springs, had to swerve to avoid a pick up losing control and rolled his ******* car. When they investigated they found the springs cut. No insurance coverage, got charged and his premiums are at an all time high ($9,700 per year). Who cares if you dish out a little extra? If Chip Foose cuts springs on his cars hes a ******* retard and really shouldn't be near them. Call me what you like but I know retarded bullshit when I see it and cutting your springs, sorry to say is retarded. That right there is ******* rice/trailer park. Use your head, dish out a little extra and all will be good. You get in a ******* crash and they discover that your going to get raped for 10X what you would have paid for proper springs and piece of mind.

i like how half the posts in here just say dont do it and dont provide a reason why. if you cut your springs and you do it right (search the intardwebz if you dont have anyone knowledgeable to help) then your ride will be fine. the problems arise when you cut them too much. like any other mod it's all in how you do it.

i've had plenty of Honda friends who have cut their **** and it doesnt affect their ride or handling. as a matter of fact you could ask some hondafanbois and they would prob have better answers/ help than half the asshats on CSS.net.

no, when and if i say something that sounds homo i say "no homo" you just said you love me with no following statement so that make you gay as ****, in the buttfucking range of gayness me thinks. wouldnt know for sure tho, only homos such as yourself can measure another **** gayness.

**** with all this gay talk i should probably throw in a NO HOMO for good measure.
