i live in washington and i am looking for cheap springs or coilovers that almost slam my car or atleast lowers it 1.75-2.5 inches. i have a 4 door '86 325 and need to lower it really bad,

let me know if you around washington and have some deals.

Cut them for the time being if you don't care about your shocks being messed up in the long run, I did it on my car - takes only a few hours, and less than an hour if you can fit a cutting wheel in there so you don't have to take apart your suspension.

so basically your saying it looks as good as if aftermarket springs were on the car but they were just stock springs that were cut? and so it will cost me more in the future and how long until the shocks get messed up like how long do they last after cutting springs.

i dont know how to cut springs and i dont want to spend hella money for other springs i just need to find someone in my area that i can trust to cut them

I did my own springs and it took me a long time for the front because I was stubborn and wanted to remove the spring from the front struts so I had to disassemble the whole front suspension and steering assembly, it took me a long time with a lot of distractions in between, for the rears I jacked the car up, unbolted the shock from the LCA and let the LCA sag, then took a cutting wheel to the spring 2 coils up from the base of it, just cut it and the piece that I cut popped off and the spring dropped and reseated itself when the car was lowered. It's been 2 weeks, the car doesn't behave any differently, but before I took apart the front suspension my steering wheel did not point straight - and now it does. You can do it yourself, you need basic tools to remove your wheels, unbolt your rear shocks, and a cutting wheel. For the front, if you end up removing the spring and cutting it without it on the car, I'd recommend a spring compressor for ease of removal and reinstallation. If you opt to leave the spring on the strut while cutting it, you will have to cut half sections at a time so you can remove them off the strut assembly as half coils, not whole coils.

do you know of any shops who do this for a good price by any chance i don't want to do it my self haha.

It's not something that you do at a shop... Do you have all the tools at your place to cut them?

You need basic hand tools, an impact gun & sockets are preferred, an air-powered cutting wheel with a good cutter on it, and jacks/jackstands/lift.
