cut or lowering springs.

Have been told cutting one coil is about 2" drop on front end. Also told no difference in ride over lowering springs. My mechanical mind sees reasoning in that.

I have also read and been told cut springs will have harsher ride. Can see possible but at same time has same load at same height. Should be equal load effectively. So same ride or harsher, If harsher how noticeable

While think far from lazy I rather not have to pull frontend apart twice if can do once. Just like to get opinions of those who have been there before me. So cars not exactly like women. LOL

While posting would like to thank all who have replied to this and tons of other questions I have had in this section, Not really my style to ask question but then suspensions not really part of me norm working arena either. Now throw bunch of engine parts in front of me or stack of tubing for new chassis or piece of metal and picture of end product and I may have one question. Thanks for replies on this and all my maybe dumb questions.
