coilover question
If i cut 1/2 a coil or even 1 coil to lower the car more and raise the perch up or threads will that give it a better or worse ride. H&R is saying that i have my car set to low on my coilovers!

Cutting coils never gives you a better ride.

It will ride worse, probably real bouncy. Like all the Hondas by me with cut springs

Just buy shorter coilover springs?

H&R coilovers aren't the best for slammed ride heights.
