      I'm not some kind of spring rate genius but I'd have to guess cutting 1 coil will lower the car the thickness of the spring. About 1/4" to 1/2".

        1/2 inch is good enough of a drop for me. I think i will just end up cutting 1 coil and if it's not low enough for my taste then i will cut another 1/2 coil. Thanks for everybody's feedback. Thats why i love R3V so much.

          Cutting the spring can make it stiffer too. So you have to keep that in mind. What struts are you running up front?

                shoulda gone with lowteks, that front drop looks like garbage for "60/60"s

                  I'm thinking that they probably gave 40/60 springs instead of 60/60's!!!
