Re: lowering springs
cant be done safely that way though and the springs come out of the holders
Re: lowering springs
it can be done safely, just wear safety goggles
lol
on a serious note, chopping springs is a big no no, but can be done safely, i have chopped springs and is no different to coilovers

Re: lowering springs
you obivously didnt cut the springs evenly as the only time they will come out if there not seated properly, 40mm would be about 2 coils on the front and probably 2.5 on the back
