congrats on the new radiator...although i dint like it when you said you cut the springs on teh car.... i really really dont recommend cutting the springs, first off it really does nothing except give the car a lowered look and lower the center of gravity...other than that it offers no real performance aspects because its still the stock springs...thats why the car rolls a lot in teh corner...and second, stock springs are sized according to the car...meaning if you cut the springs ur putting more weight on a shorter spring...at a stock spring length..it can handle the weight of the car during hard turning...when u cut it shorter ur basically putting more stress onto the spring making it more likely to deform or snap...sorry if it sounds like im lecturing i dont mean to...just offering some advice
