Koni shocks and H&R springs... Problems?

[6keb1@qlink.queensu.ca (Kareem)]

I know that it's not recomended to cut springs, but I have the
tall OEM stock 16v springs with Boge's and leveled the car out by cutting
one coil off the fronts. No problems in 70k of driving.
Might be preferable to 8v springs on a 16v, though it might be too tall
for your liking.
