A very good point was made to me when i was considering cutting vs just buying a drop spring. Its a very good possibility that you stock springs have already sagged an inch or so. So before you get a new spring you may want to measure yours from the LCA to the flat part of the spring bucket and compare it to factory specs before you decide on how much of a lowering spring to buy. I dont have the factory measurement but im sure its on the board somewhere.
