I agree with getting an alarm. Find a reputable shop tho. If ur gonna cut ur springs I suggest u to cut half a circle (coil) at a time from the top, not the bottom. u will regret it if u cut too many coils "circles" at a time. I know that its time consuming, but its the best way if u don't know what kind of ride or drop u want

DAGoAcura92 SO I DONT HAVE TO CUT ALLL THE SPRING OFF,I CAN JUST CUT LIL CIRCLES AT A TIME TILL I GET THE RIGHT HIGHT I WANT?
 
Cut springs on stock shocks leads to two things: a shit ride and blown shocks.

Every level of a spring is called a coil. Look at the top of ur spring where it begins, if u cut directly beneath it, u have cut a whole coil. If u cut the opposite side, u will have cut half a coil, which would look like a half circle. Cut half a coil to lower ur car, slowly. If u cut a whole level or coil at a time it gives it a big drop. I would really reccomend Lowering springs, but if u want to cut them this is the best way.

I dont agree with cut springs. You mess with the spring rate and the amount of compression the spring has. Do it right the first time, buy coilover or lowering springs.

If you want to drop it that much, you NEED struts made to handle that drop. Your stock struts will BLOW if you go that low.

I want the sleeper effect. My paint is faded in places, some pine sap stuck on the hood (north idaho brothas) few rust spots THOSE I WANT TO CAP otherwise i want this car to look neglected, so some rich asshole in a Porsche rolls up and runs his mouth while i run my 1/4 mile. (after the build of course) Everything is stock, lights and the such, and even removed stock rear wing. Cut the antenna down halfway, she is looking redneck (i'm not redneck just a little country) i want her rough but tough like the great northwest. Had some really cool cosmetic ideas but those will have to come after an alarm system, kill switch, and a garage to lock her up in. I have been envisioning a black, grey, and orange digital camo wrap with solid black hood, and a low spoiler to give it a stealth fighter look (when i got the thing i looked at her face and all i could see was a predator, like a shark) something similar to this

From the sound of it, I wouldn't even waste money on an alarm. It ain't getting stolen. :D
