Default clippein springs

hey, i am about to clip my springs(yes i know it is not the brightest idea, but it is temporary, once i get the money the whole suspension is going to be built) and i was wondering how much coil to cut off to drop the car about 1-1/2 inches?

correct me if im wrong, but the spring has to sit in there a certian way, or else it wont sit right, so you would have to cut up on the next level of spring to make it look just like it did before you cut it

just go to autozone and pick up some spring tensioners and do it that way..but use longer bolts to compress more of the spring there like 5 bucks a pair
