yeah chooping em is dangerous only becasue u gotta remove the springs and they might shoot ya. they arent that dificult to get out cant remeber exacualy how to but its all simple. just sit down infront of it nd look what is in your way and under what ever is in the way. simply

The main problems with choped springs are
1. them falling out, not only will they cause damage to your car they will most probably cause a crash, (my mates choped his, and when his fell out he ruined one of his mags cause he ran into a gutter)
2. your car will cop alot more of a beating resulting in it literally falling apart (welds braking etc)

so its up to u.
but apart from all that, basically just do what gdy said and maybe try the search section using "front springs"
cheers

I wouldnt bother buying springs just to chop them. I my self wouldnt bother chopping springs in the first place. Seeing as how you are doin the front springs and they are a real hassle to get in and out do it properly the first time.

Chop springs = risk death. Sound like a good enough reason not to?
