can't you just unscrew them? cutting works too, less labor. some people remove all but 1 collar for ultra dapper. or remove them all for ultimate dapper. and finally if you arent scarping the ground and making sparks you could buy shorter springs or cut them also!! dapper king

Hello there. For Ultimate car swags, I use nuts to lift the tophats of my car. This gives it the true "yolo" appearance that is all the rage with the youngsters these days.

^wow thats NUTS!! I never knew you could do that!
hood washers/spacers would help with the clearance with that mod, and added benefit of extra cooling.

I don't think that does much for cooling
