Thanks for busting my bubble.

Yup, Eric's right..."someone" did cut their springs about 2.75" back in June, with like 6 miles on their car. The dang thing rode better than stock! And it cornered like crazy! Of course, I wouldn't recommend people do the same unless they know EXACTLY what they're doing!
