Default help with front coil's

I'd like to drop the front end down some and I'm thinking of cutting the coils. How much do i cut . I drop the back with a kit from ecklers now I want to bring the front down. Should I start with the 1/2 coil first?
I really need ya'lls help. Thanks Vince

you have to line up the ends when you cut them!! so a half of coil really wont work but a full coil on stock springs will drop you about a 1 1/4 roughly i cut 1 coil off my front springs it worked out nicely

Get VBPs gymkahana springs, they drop the front by 1 inch, and improve handling and overall performance

Start with 3/4 coil, install (correctly) and drive for a while to let them settle. Then go from there.

You can always cut more, but you can't put back what you have cut off.
