I cut 1 full coil from the top of the rear springs on my 02 Z28 and it lowered the rear almost 3/4". This brought the rear height even with the front of the vehicle. I used an angle grinder and constantly dipped the spring in cold water to avoid losing its temper. I thought the car looked better and I had no issues with the set-up.
