Cutting stock springs

[uscharalph]

cutting coils is a cheap and effective way to lower your car, but as soon as the springs start to wear out as you know they will they will start to sag and then your ride quality is all shot to ****. If your going to cut them you shuold take off maybe half to a third of a coil but before you do that you may just want to try the springs off a touring model or the m5 springs both lower the car a little bit (would be significant with the 3mm pads) and you will not jepardise the integrity of your suspension. if you decide to cut em I would have another stock set laying around when you change your mind.

So M5 springs plus 3mm pads would lower the car how much?

I'm not trying to go the cheap route, I don't mind buying the springs, it's the ride quality that I want to save.
Here is my other car, and as you can see all performance, not much ride quality

On the touring I got almost an inch with m5 springs and 3mm pads.
