i agree, i lowered mine hatch on integra tociko blues with coilovers and the handling is much better imo. but when it comes to pot holes and dips and road surface changes, its not the best thing in the world. im now starting to get annoyed by it. looking to go either full coilover or drop springs.

This is because the Tein springs have a lower rate than the factory springs do in most cases. Couple that with a roll center that is now further below the car's center of gravity and you will get lots of body roll. ---- can the Tein drop springs, they are garbage. I know, I used to have a set. Sure they rode pretty good, but the handling sucked ***.

The only thing you are going to accomplish by cutting the Tein springs is barely raising the spring rate while decreasing the roll stiffness of the chassis. By dumping the car, the roll center gets farther and farther below the Center of gravity. Not a good thing.
