Front springs

If I cut one coil of the front spring how much lower will it be?

Can I cut less than one coil? Maybe 3/4 of a coil?

Re: Front springs

Ive always been told that in general it's about 2 inches for each coil.

Re: Front springs

Yes, you can cut less than 1 coil. I cut 1.25 coils and got almost 3" drop. I would not cut anymore than I did. I have zero problems.
