The best way to preserve website back links / authority while removing posts

I hate to answer a question with a question, but: Are you concerned that removing the spammy links from your site is going to somehow damage the site's authority? Your domain authority is fairly low, so you don't have that much to lose. I'd get the site 100% legit, no matter what harm comes to your overall authority. Long term, it's the only way to go.

So to be clear, you would not be concerned to totally eliminate all of the links and start over? No 301 redirects, just wipe the slate clean and build a totally legit site?

Oh, I'm concerned. But if you have spammy links incoming from other sites, you have to clean it up. Otherwise, eventually, you're going to get hit.

Thanks for the insight.
