IMO, it's a waste of time. You should trade your C springs for some BBK's. I hear they give you a 2' drop all around. I can't say for sure, but I've heard of a few guys inthis forum who have switched because they were to low.

I have cut springs on the rear of my car. I cut one coil out and it dropped it about an inch. Rides great and is way better for drag racing than lowering springs. You can cut 2 coils out and get what you want.
