? about cutting coils
i was thinkin about just cuttin coils and doin my flip to give me a 3/5 drop in a hurry, granted i know it isnt the best way to do it, its a good quick and dirty way untill i can stand to throw down the $500+ for spindles and other goodies that i really want.
anywho...i have 2 questions 1. how much should i cut off to drop the front 3"? im pretty sure i need to cut a coil and a half, but figured id better as first 2. exactly how god awful is it gonna ride done this way? it pretty much rides like a tractor anyway due to stiff arse rear supsension(which i will remedy soon) so long as it is SAFE, i really care not. thanks Dan

Cut 1 coil for approx 2-3" drop (depending on the springs). This won't kill the ride quality, but it won't help it either. Spindles cost about $250. That plus cutting 1 coil is about a 5-6" drop.
