Nothing wrong with properly cut springs, but torque dip removal is funny!

Firstly, torque dip removal need only require one to utilize one of the many tuning software interfaces for the ZN6 ECU. Say goodbye to emissions, and probably fuel economy.

The thing is, if you fuck with your suspension and crash your car you won't be able to blame it on the VTEC.

It was an April fools joke. I think most people know these things. Oh god I hope they do.

First of all, cutting springs not only improves handling but ALSO reduces weight. Can you please stop calling this an April fools joke this is good information my fellow 86 owners need to know.

What do you value more, HUNDREDS of grams of useless weight in your springs or cutting them and gaining ALL of the benefits with no downsides whatsoever.

Same with camber, if your daily commute isn't a 45 degree banked curve the entire way are you really driving?

Same for stretching tires. Why give tire companies more money when the same amount of grip can be achieved by simply stretching economy tires. This also results in less weight.

I thought you were knowledgeable Tcoat, I had so much respect for you but now...
