use an angle grinder or a plasma cutter and cut of coils, i usually cut the springs so that when the strut is fully extended the springs still touch both perches. from there i just cut a little more at a time until i find a decent height.
or just wait for your coilovers to come in.

so more pictureless, worthless updates. i bought strobes for my front lights, fog lights to mount vertically in my grille (like a levin) and new wheel studs since the old ones kept breaking.
pics tomorrow though i think.

yea so i got hella **** done today. but just for jordan i decided not to take pics. jk my friend with the camera took some pics but he had to leave early, he said he will post on jzxproject so ill post them here later. well, i got the fog lights in, mouted vertically where the grill used to be of course, and got the strobes in and wired up...then they decided they were gonna be broken so ill try to take them back to kragens, mocked up the oilcooler, will install when i get fake hoses, LOL. and other cool junk, installed a "body kit" on a cutomers accord and sanded my friends engine bay and interior (S13). yea. stay tuned for pics. (hopefully they are decent)
oh and levi, im either gonna make KTS S13 coils to work or just get T3 fronts + "custom" springs/AGX in the rear, the car came with cut springs since i bought it from a friend. post pics of your MX83
that is all.
