What I mean by ratio is this. If you cut a 1/4 of an inch, you will lower your car by twice as much or more. So, for example, if you cut and remove 1/4" of the HEIGHT of the spring, you will lower your car about 1/2 inch. So, the first thing is making sure you can accurately measure the height of the spring. It is NOT a 1/4" of the lenght, BUT height. I would cut very very little to make sure the ratio is consistent. Plus, those springs may not be exactle the same height now. It is not as simple as chopping off a coil and thinking it will work out.

And, you are correct. Not a lot going on with this forum like it used to be. I stopped swinging by as often over a year ago because so little commentary and traffic on mod's and upgrades.
