Lowering rear end.... H & R vs. cutting stock springs.

[SilvererSHO]

I want to drop the rear of mine 1" - 1.500". Thought about a set of H & R springs but don't want to drop the front that much ( 1.500"). The H & R specs seem like you'd still have the stock stance just lower all around. I'm thing of cutting a 1/3 of a coil from the rear springs. Advantages/disadvantages to both? Other options? Drive around with 300lbs. in the trunk?

Check this out. The whole thread is terrific but he specifically started with cutting rear springs then moving to H&R springs.

Well, I just got done chopping a half of a coil out of the rears. It is a piece of cake job to do. I'll post pics later. Swapping out the front rotors replacing the POS Raybestos for Powerstops and putting back on my 20" wheels with fresh 255/45-20 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's starting now. Loved the first set I had.

H&R all the way around sets the height nice and turns on a dime.

Looks nice! Did you powdercoat your rims?

I even ended up cutting my rear H&R springs as well.

H&R looks awesome, turns nice and flat. But you will feel every bump.
