Would it be that bad if I cut just a coil off?

Do. Not. Do. It.

You want more of a drop, do it the right way -- get different springs, or buy yourself coilovers. Cutting is never the solution.

Just curious. I've read that some people chopped the rears of their Tein's.

The drop I have with my Goldlines cool. I think they're lower then yours. I don't think I could even get a finger up front and in the rear is like 1 or a little more.

I have cut sprints, I knew it would ride rough but I did it anyways. It rode pretty well for over a yr but I want to stay near the same height and coil overs is the only option for me. it sucks to be poor...

Do you have any pictures of your car with the springs cut?

I wouldn't cut them. Seems to be the most even drop out of most springs out there.
