What's your definition of "bad"?

I did it to my '84 that I use for autocrossing. It did the job. The car is lower, it handles fine.

However, when the rear springs are cut, the top of the springs no longer sit in their "hat" properly. The passenger side rear spring of my '84 occasionally makes wierd noises since being cut that I don't like. I'd either buy rear lowering springs or install coil-overs next time.

The most expert guy I know told me that you cut 1/2 a coil in the back and it works fine with one full coil cut in the front

I cut 1 coil both front & rear and sat perfect. about an inch lower all around.

Shouldn't be a surprise, but it's important to note that there are different springs used in Fieros from '84-'88 (including different springs within the same year).

I cut two coils off front and back of my '84 and it sits just right.
