Default Shelby drop question

Can you do the Shelby 1" drop then cut the spring another inch as well?....... I have 245/35/18 in front and 275/30/18 in the rear. I also am adding the metal flares from the sn65.com project. the circumference of the new tire vs is the old tire is within a half an inch of each other, with the stock size actually being bigger.. But part of the fender has been cut away so we believe the front end needs to come down roughly 1.5" to 2".......... Question is, can you do the drop as well as cutting the springs?? thank you for your help

Sure, lots of people have done both. The 1" LCA drop actually only lowers it ~1/2" at the wheel. You may want to do the drop and then see where the car sits after driving it a week. The springs will increase in stiffness somewhat when cut. I would do 1/2 coil then see where you sit again after a week of driving.
