This is a serious question?

Buy some struts that have an adjustable perch. The koni yellows are only $500 which is a steal for what you get. Just save up for them bitches.

So you are going to take some springs that are alreay soft as hell and reduce the suspension travel even more.

Brilliant!

If you weren't trying to take out well over a 1.5", then I would say go for it.

---- it do it anyway. You probably don't care about how it actually drives or handles around corners as long as it looks, "sick."
