New alignment after cutting font coils ?
I installed new front coils on my 80 last year and the front end sat too high. I took the coils out and cut about 3/4 of a coil off but that did not drop the front end the 1 1/2 I wanted. If I cut a further 3/4 coil off to get me to my 1 1/2 drop will I need a new front end alignment ? Brent

which coils did you install /cut?
