I wouldn't cut springs because it leaves a much rougher ride than heated. In my 78, you can't even tell it's lowered. It's lowered 3". Back in the day, in lowriding, the object was low as you can. They didn't really have lowering springs for every car like they do now. Heating/cutting has been going on since before your parents were even born. My daily driver is the only car I bought springs for. In closing, heating springs isn't the best way, it isn't the right way, but I will vouch for it. I've never, ever had one suspension(or any other problem) related problem due to this method of lowering. Plus you can go as low as you want for only $10. Seriously. That's all it cost. Later, QD.
well thats back then and we are in the present, stock spring arnt mad for any of that and sooner or later somthing will go wrong. thats why thet make parts made for those mods
