I am wanting to lower my car, but I just don't have the money for lowering springs right now. I have heard that you can cut them and it will do the same thing with no problems. I have also heard that you will blow out your struts in a matter of 6 months or so if you do it as well. I just wanted to know what you all think that I should do... Thanks for reading P.S. I have a 1992 Lexus SC400 w/ stock suspension.
