i am trying to lower just the front end of my tiburon. the blocks dont fit between the spring coils to compress them. i have eibach springs, can i cut them? they are already stiff, im not sure what the downfall is to cutting lowering springs tho. thanks

DONT cut them, it'll void the warranty and if you have an accident it's totally on you.

I dont really know of a way on how to lower only the front end but the only way i know is buying some coil overs and only lowering the front, other than that i dont know of another way.

you could put your stock springs back in the back.

but you have to ask yourself? what's more important, having that leaning forward look from all teh gay cars in 3 fast 3 f3urious or being able to turn? hmm...

the downfall is safety. if you want it any lower, i reccomend coilovers or even air bags. dont cut anything. if you get rid of some eibachs i may be interested

it is so easy to lower your car in odd ways thinking it could do no harm and look cooler when in reality it really does just through your handling right ot shit.

Please dont do it. It doesnt look good my rear sticks up some (only I notice because of alot of looking its maybe 1/4 or 1/2 inch) because of the weight reduction in the trunk, but dont try to get this look.

mainly i wanna do it because during acceleration, my front end comes up pretty hard which gives less weight on the front, and more on the rear. therefore my tires have no weight on them. i would like to lower the front or jack up the rear in hopes to somewhat help the car from squating in the rear.
