    I can get a full set of BRAND NEW King Springs Super or Ultra Lows for under $400 (not including fitting) if you want them instead of chopping up your springs

    We are not hating, chopping your springs isnt a very good idea considering it can fall out if you go over a bump lol.

    As a mechanic, I know this, but 2 or 3 posts stating not to should be enough

    This is ozhonda but.

    Lololoool.

    To the OP. I do not recommend this, and neither myself, or ozhonda can be held liable for anything negative that may occur if you follow through with this.

    First up you need to remove the struts and take the springs out. Don't ask how, use your head and do a search on google.

    Then once you've got the springs out, put them I'm a vice where they won't move. Then using an angle grinder, cut off how ever many coils you want. Don't go half, start off with say, a third of the total length of the spring. So if there's 12 coils on it, cut off 3 or 4.

    Then spray the end you cut with paint so it doesn't rust.

    Put it all back together and enjoy your VN Commodore spec suspension.
