I'm actually asking this with another person's VX in mind. There are no aftermarket options for stock height. That's why I'm asking about cutting 919s.. Or even the expedition version.
    Despite what others say about cutting the springs, it worked fine for me. I don't see any issue with cleaning cutting a ring or two off the 919s. Just don't use a blow torch because the heat will ruin the springs. Band saw works great.

    I also looked into the other options when trying to get the perfect ride height. I found Moog makes coil springs that should fit the VX. There's a wide range of heights & different spring rate. I believe we need a coil springs with tangential & square ends.

    I was planning on test fitting a few of them before I decided it was a lot less time, effort, and money to cut the coil springs and move on to the next project.

    You can also get custom springs wound to your specs; it ain't that expensive either...
