Should supercede those old threads telling people to prise the spring cap off with a screwdriver!
Fantastic
This does tend to work actually, though i'd never do it on my own car.
Regardless, i'm not trying that method again!

[quote="JohnTurbo"]Cus if its lowered on pi -40mm the rear of the car sits on them. That means the rear of the car is over sprung, under damped and..corners like shite.[/quote

Well mart it was usually ok, but i was driving the snake pass with a bit of load in the boot, and took a hard corner in a dip....the back end bounced and lost traction, and I only just managed to pull it back in with the throttle.
With em cut, i can take that corner 15 mph faster easily.

Well as an update, i can confirm Jerlab's method works wonderfully.
2 minutes with a hex-headed screw and the pin was out, very easy, not even damaged looking.
Now to get on with finishing it off!
