until you drive or move the car, even with all the weight on the suspension it will not settle. I just went thru this with my brothers 40 chevy truck. I explained to him not to cut coils or get all flustered until you drive it a little. Sure enough the wheels will not "spread" until they can roll.So whatever you do, don't go rushing in to changes without driving a little in-between each change. If you decide you must cut a coil only cut 1/2 coil at a time reassemble and drive in between changes.
