For a 4 inch drop up front you'd have to cut 2 coils but now you have to deal with the issue of running out of adjustment to get camber back to spec, not to mention any time you jack up the front your coils would fall out.

To do it properly you'd need a 3 inch drop spindle and cut a bit of your stock coil.

i cut 2 and got the camber where i want it with room to spare, they do get loose in the pockets when jacked up and sagging.

so you want one more inch? to get to a 4" drop?
