Instead of the hassle of pullin the springs out and grinding them, just get one oxy kit, half a dozen big blokes (rugby player size). Heat the springs one at a time and get the boofheads to jump on the top of the quarter guard above each spring as ya heat it.
End up with shagged guards but damn it'll look low. : |

Jim,
I sold a set of springs and shocks on ebay for $100. They're not that expensive.

why not do some research?
like ring up your local suspension shop and talk to them about what you want. they can offer you their expert advice on what needs to be done and how much it will cost. you dont have to spend any money, just ask, find out and go buy the stuff yourself. it isnt hard changing shocks and springs. if you arent confident in doing it then give a mate that knows what he is doing a slab and get him to do it. |

bumpstops FTW! seems as you want to be a tightass, just lose the springs all together...

Just as a guide, I sold a set of new king super lows not long ago for $200. Your better off saving up for new stuff IMO.
