Nobody asked the really important question.
How are the roads around you?
Roads are crappy here (thus why PA gets the worst roads in the country award year after year) so I only went 1.25 with eibachs

bad idea just save money and get springs and struts you will be a lot happier with the lowered springs than just cutting the stock springs.

If you cut your springs the heat of the torch will ruin the temper of the metal, and they'll break in short order. And don't even try cutting spring steel with a saw/sheer, you'll ruin your equipment.
