Default Lowering front ??? again. Cutting Coils.

I've got big block springs and have already cut 2/3 of a coil off. Ride height is at 27 1/2". How much more to cut off to get to 26".

I installed 460 springs last night and took it for a test ride an hour ago. It stands at 26.5 inches and almost touches the pan.
I am going out and put the stock morosso springs back in. It road better and stood 27.375 tall.
I will try to return the 460 springs Monday.

Yep, I think I need to be 26 1/2 or larger. I think I'm only going to cut a 1/2 coil.
