well basically it's super dangerous the spring rates are unknown and not balanced the car will be un controlable and this is highly not recommended... for 250 bucks or so he can do it properly doing a half assed job for looks is like a woman dressing as a man and picking up another chick only to get back to an apartment and find out that she ain't got the stuff the picked up chick was expecting.... in the end dangerous and ****ty performance

i did it... car becomes more bouncy... and if you dont cut them all the same amount your car will look weird...
