96 golf springs
 

so im an idiot and lowerd my car by cutting the stock springs. i cut about 3 coils off and each spring... the car is so uncomfortable to ride in it sucks. im starting to hear nocking noises from the weel wells.... i think its my struts that are bottoming out right?

They would be practically sitting on the bump stops. You can only lower a car about one and a half inches effectively.
