    Lowering front strut lower spring platforms

    Just got a set of roller top mounts as you all know they raise the suspension by a inch
    i allready have a set of uprated -1 inch springs on my capri struts which are only two years old
    am i right in thinking that if i want to return to my current ride height it should be possiable
    to cut the lower spring mounts and weld them on 1 inch lower
