so this winter i have decided to lower the car finally and i was going to cut the springs but if i was to get lowering springs, which would be safer, how would i know what size to get and where could i get them here locally instead of the net?

I have a nice pair of  Oregon Ventura II   springs     either 6 cyl or "lowering" sproings   FREE  fob Clinton

i would try them out carl. I think when i read about lowering springs it was saying that its the same strength just shorter. Now when you cut springs it looks like you dont have a full circle at the top to sit in the cup like thingy?? I would come pick them up and have some coffee sometime if your interested.

Steaped tea  or steped  or stepped  Tea  

then Tea it is
