Hi 859. Cutting springs is a bad idea and is generally discouraged by suspension experts. I would recommend either purchase proper lowering springs that will give you the height you want, or leave it alone.

 

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

That's a terrible idea.  If you want it lower, bag it.  Plenty of members have bagged their Fusions.

I think you could get away with cutting it if you were really that much in a financial bind.  Although be very cognizant of where you cut and the angle you cut it at.  Lastly be sure not to cut too much.

I'll be honest, I am not in favor of lowering springs period.  I had eibach lowering springs on my honda when I was a kid and cv axle broke when I took a hard turn.  The lowering springs threw off the whole drive train geometry of the vehicle which would make this prone to happening again if I left them on.  Also the ride quality was horrible.  Needless to say I sold the lowering springs and went back to stock.
