Stock springs at 3380 lbs. Fender measurements are 28" front and 28.5" rear.
At first, I cut 1/2 coil up front and HH mod in the rear (no photos) and the measurements are 27.5" front and 28" rear.
Then I cut more for a total of 1 coil off front and 1/2 coil + HH mod in the rear with KYB Gas-A-Justs(20K miles on them). I couldn't tell much difference in the ride of the car at this point.
I have since cut another 1/3 coil off the rear(nearly 1 coil total in the rear) and now measures just under 27" front and 27.5" rear(no photos). This also made the rear ride a bit more rough. 90% of the time the ride is great, just when going through rougher spots on the road that I can tell the difference in the rear. I'm very happy with the results, but now I'm thinking better shocks(mainly for the rear) would be nice. I also wonder if BMR's or Strano's in the rear would ride better.
