opinions on heating springs
 
I want to lower my bmw about 1-1/2 in. I have always been against cutting and heating springs to lower a car but I also always drove honda's so I was worried about performance. I know the best way to lower it would be to buy springs but I'm feeling lazy and just want to put a torch to them. Have you ever done this? What were the resaults?

i would do it if i was you, but you should pour gas on the springs to help lubricate the shrinking of the metal.
