I use my cobra for DD and i occasionally drag race on streets , never on the track , so im looking just an agressive stance instead of handling or cornering of etc.

So heres is the question , would be enough and the best choice for my goals, to just cut the stock springs?

Whats the best technique or the correct one to cut them , and how much i would need to cut on the front and rear springs ?

Anyone has an issue by cutting their stock springs? noise? bad suspension or something?

Thanks !

No problem. More guys will chime in, but this section doesn't get much traffic sometimes. You are in the right place but it may take a couple days for others to check in.

Yeah i kind of have the same question you have with my car. Im afraid if i cut my factory springs, my car will rattle and squeak when i go over small bumps. That's why i think i'm more than likely going to go with the H&R Race springs. I've heard a lot of good things about them. They don't sit too high or too low and they have a real mean aggressive stance to them.
