dont cut your springs. its dumb.

if you want a comfy ride but a lowered look, go for something like Eibach springs. a little more on the expensive side, but are a much better quality spring.

by the way, you will only ever get what you pay for, so if you want to do it properly, just wait till you can afford the good quality gear.

airbags will certainly not be in your budget if you dont have much 'dough'
