Also remember that any coils cut off equal a stiffer spring. (higher
compression rate)

It's a much better option than heating the coils, but not as good as buying
lowering springs.
If you do decide to do this, use a method other than flame cutting, such as
abrasive wheel, cold saw, etc...
Just remember, don't cut off too much at once, a 3" cut on the spring, DOES
NOT equate to 3 inches of drop.

Hi Everyone....Hope you all had a great Christmas and got a few parts
for yourselves under the tree...
I was reading on a website(can't remember which one now) that some
people have actually cut a few coils off their front springs to lower their
cars a few inches....Has anybody here done this and is it a safe thing to
do..???..I have seen drop spindles and such for lowering but haven't heard
of slicing a coil or two off your front spring.....
