DIY: Cutting Rear Springmount aka "the springmount mod"
I picked up my 05 6mt back in Febuary and it's all stock except for the ride height, I think. The pics I see of other stock G's look like thry're higher than mine. How can I tell if I do have aftermarket springs?
I don't really want my car any lower, but my rears look like they could be lowered by an 1/5" to even things out. If I am on stock springs, can this mod still be done? Thanks guys.

It looks lower than this in person. Maybe this is why I think it looks lower than other stock G's.

Thanks... Great diy...
I was kinda scared to attempt this, but I did it anyway... If I messed up, I was gonna call in sick tomorrow since the dealer was not open today... Thank goodness everything worked out well and the car is back together. After I did my cut (1/2"), I placed them on a flat even surface and placed a level on top of them. I kept sanding until it was levelled... That is how I achieved the even cut...

Has anybody had an issue with this mod? I have asked many shops to help me out in doing it because I dont have the tools/ability to even take them out from my car at my current location and all of them have shuddered at the fact I would even consider that, and would'nt help me. So I am wondering if there are negatives here, because my rear drop is killing me with H-techs!
Thanks!
Thanks!
What coil are you on and have you had issues with the spring poping out when jacking the car off the ground?
Not using a rear mount is a bad idea. You will get metal on metal contact with could start a crack (cracks are sometimes started by gouging / deep scratches).
