I have a mate who has an old 1974 lancer, use to be called PINK BITS and we lapped in IPSWICH back in the mid 90's. BOGANS. Anyway we went for the up market "BOSCH" suspension and lopped 2 coils off each front side, it sat a little low but it was a sweet ride. One day we hit a big pot hole, BANG, snapped another coil off, we sood back, looked at it and went bugger it and lopped 1 more coil off the unbroken side, man it sat real mean looking but we had to cut the bump stops in half. POINT BEING, IF YOUR GUNNA CUT YA SPRINGS AT LEAST GET IT DONE BY A PRO.
