What did you laser cut? The spring or the something else?
That is what I want right there. Could you possibly send a picture of what you laser cutted so I can get an idea on what to do. Thanks

ummm huh? so you arent riding on springs? you looked at the springs when the car is on the ground and they are loose? What coil over are you running?

what are you going to tighten up on the coilver and what are you going to cut?

answer these and I will tell you how to get it to lay on the ground.

If the springs aren't "pushing" on the car, then he IS on the ground

The nut that needs tightening is the one behind the wheel.

I think there is no tension on teh springs when its in the air. I dont know if they are as low as they will go.

OP doesnt explain stuff well. Maybe pictures would be better? Not camera phoen but legit pictures.

(^ Before his edit, the first post was some rant about how Obama ruined the economy so he wanted to sell his car to recoup some cashmoney. Basically had no details about the car, other than the fact that it was a swapped WRX)

Why the hell would you ask about cutting coilovers on a car you already planned on selling?

I never thought you did. Your stance is ridiculous though. What brand are the coilovers and is that with them completely opened up?
