Hi Gordon,
So which cut did you use on the front of your car?? Does Bob Sharp
recomend his street cut for a car driven on the street with the NISMO
front springs?? I have NISMO comp stuff up front and stock rear sway
bars and I drive on the street. Which cut should I use?? How
can I be more confused now than this morning???
