If u do to cut your springs, you'll have to cut the bottom of the fronts down... have to retain you upper spring set for the mount. but garms got a point. Your struts will cash out quickly. I know mine were woreout before i chopped the springs but my shock/struts are done but my next purchase will b a coilovers. I will tell you in order to get slammed there quite a bit of spring that u gotta chop off. I bet I put mine in and out 4-5 times till I got all I could out of it.

The rears seem like they would sit fine if u cut the bottom of the spring as much as you want right?? lots or perch to sit on?? the fronts seek like they only have so much of cutting. I heard some guy in this forums saying that he cut 1/4 from bottom and 1/4 from top on fronts.... and like 2 coils from bottom on rears???

my bad it took so long. was having issues with this damn computer. but anyway here is the car. I don't have any of the springs themselves. I will tell you I cut probably almost a 1/3 outta the fronts and a 1/4 is outta the rears. it took a lot of in and out to get them just so.

I have suspension but I know people here in P.R. who cut Yaris springs and the ideal to get slammed with comfty ride is at bottom cut 2 coils and cut bumpstops like this

you can have something like this
