Thats true but id like to get to the height im looking for in one shot. Considering i have A-Bomb helping me this Saturday, i dont want to take his whole day away cutting, installing... cutting somemore, re-installing, etc.
Im going to start a thread asking for people with cut springs to post pics and lmk how much they cut off. Maybe then i can decide on the exact amount i want to cut on mine. Im thinking a full coil front and rear should be pretty much perfect.

they are shitty pics from my cheap *** phone but here they are. this is when the car was just taken off the jackstands. he then went around the block and when he came back it was low! he didn't like it that low so he went another route in the front.

His car looks good! I want to paint my grilles just like that since the rest of the car is already blacked out. Thats 1 coil front and rear? Maybe ill go a 1 1/8 coil to take away that tiny bit of fender gap thats left.

I just ran out and grabbed a few low quality pics with my iphone. I have cut 1 coil off the fronts and 1 1/4 coil off the rears. My bumpstops have all had 1/2 inch removed.

Perfect then! I like a tiny rake but not when its too noticable. I want that little extra clearance for the wider tires and should i ever decide to go with some staggered 19's, im sure the little extra clearance will help.

I think i have decided on 1 coil up front and 1-1/8 in the rear. I think 1-1/4 might be pushing it but it want just a hair more than a coil in the back.
Im hoping that gets me sittin right where i wanna be!
