wouldnt bother, coming from a guy whos done it a few times on different cars, just get some 60mm front springs or even a cheap set of coilovers..

you may laugh but i speak the truth about chopped springs, there just unpredictable, you hit a bump and it will chuck you anyway it feels like it, soo bumpy, just no real road handling at all, may look good but if you hit a small bump when braking your front end will just keep bouncing straight into the car in front...

just telling the truth but its totally you call at the end of the day
