To those in the future who searched regarding 460lb coils springs (ignore the hijack) here's what it looks like with 1 1/2 coils removed from new 460lb springs. It's about an inch lower than I wanted BUT, there's absolutely NO rub from the 245/60-15 tires and camber is not quite negative, but much better than before. I just ordered the longer rear spring bolts to adjust the rear height. I do kinda like the look, though.

With the coil cut in the location, how does it fit in the pocket. Does your car have pockets where the end of the coil should sit ?

While searching for threads regarding cutting coil springs, I recall finding one that I believe DUB stated to make sure the spring is indexed correctly in the upper frame pocket and wherever the spring falls in the lower control arm is ok.

So with the 550,s you did not have to cut anything off them?

I had to cut a bit off so it would sit properly in the bottom A arm index position.

The 460lb indexed ok top and bottom but you can see how these 550lb are just a bit too long .

your car looks so good now , as long as your happy with how it turned out .

If your bottom coil end had gone into the index depression you would probably be cursing now .

You do realise when you lower the back the front will come down a teeny bit more.

again , she looks great and will look even better when the rear comes down

And, to put the finishing touch on this thread, here's a photo with the longer rear spring bolts installed and adjusted. I reeeally like how it looks, but I need to be very careful with any type of curb. I've got about 4 1/2 inches of ground clearance with the exhaust pipes.

Well done!

Nice look!! Did you drop that much the rear with 8" bolts?

sunflower 1972

Actually, I used 10" bolts, adjusted accordingly, and cut off the excess. From what I can tell, it's about 8 1/2 inches. I didn't want to take a chance with the 8" not be long enough to start with.
