No thanks, there is a motorsports shop in town and i can get regular chevy coils there in any length. I want to lower the car 2-3 inches but the only spring that does so is the one from vbandp and it only drops it about an inch, so this way i don't have to cut them, plus these are cheaper. Thanks for the info though.

What height are you looking for ? With the VBP 550lbs springs your front will be at about 27" - that is with the 255-60 tires.... and it is pretty low.
If you cut the stock spring you may not be happy with the ride quality - these are soft springs. Your shocks may not like that....

Yea, i was gonna buy the vbandp springs and cut those cause i would like to sit between 26-27, somewhere in there. No positive yet untill i get my tires and wheels. but either way i don't really like the idea of cutting springs, so i think if i can i will just get my tires/wheels, and then see how much i want to lower it and then just order the springs from this place in that height.

The 27.2" that I measured is with the 255-60 tires (27.1" dia) - if you install 16 or 17" rims with f.e. a 255-45 or 255-40 tire your front will be lower than 27" with the 550lbs springs.
I would not cut the 550s - I did cut the 460s (3/4 coil) to get almost the same ride height....
