should I cut the springs???
 
Here's the deal...I plan on buying springs later on but right at this moment I can't afford them...I was thinking of cutting my FCs springs just for the time being...wat do u guys think? should I?, and if so how much of the spring should I take off? If not y shouldn't I?

If you want a crappy setup... Not worth the time or effort. You can pick up springs for like 150 or cheaper. Spend the time at work that you would have spent on cutting them and buy decent springs.

actually, on the FC, as long as you do it right, it's not THAT bad... however, to make the car low enough in the back, you need to cut them to the point that when the shock is all the way extended, the spring has about a 3~4 gap from the top of it to the upper shock mount... this CAN be a problem, and it sucks to have to "Realign" the springs when you need to quickly jack up and lower the car again.
