they claim their springs only drop about 1/2" & maintain a comfortable ride with better handling.

Springs cut, despite heated discussion against it
Hey guys, well again, I didn't do this to save a little money, didn't try to be cheap, I just wanted the stock ride and after cutting one coil off the springs, I got just that, a car that sits 1 to 1.5 inches lower and the ride is exactly the same as stock. I drove around after I put the struts back in to let it settle, and than I wen to a parking lot to go through some speed bumps to ensure that it would not have any consequences. The car rides great, no improvement in handling and there was none expected as the BMW already has pretty good handling as a stock car. Here are some pictures of the difference.
