Lowering the Front
I have stoc fron springs and I would like to lower the front of the car 2" How much spring should I cut? Would you recomend some from both ends or just from one. If just one should it be the top or the bottom?

I cut mine from the bottom but turn the spring so it sits properly in buttom basket. I would cut 1/2 a coil out reinstall and go for a drive. This settles the spring in the basket. The car may look lower but once you drive it you will see it has lowered even more. After that if you need more cut 1/4 or 1/8 at a time. If you get to agressive from the get go and the car sits to low, get ready to buy new springs. Wonder how I know that.
