Default Ford C Springs updated

I have them on my car now. If i was to cut maybe a half coil off the front will it throw my car out of whach that much? I just want the front a little lower, and have the stance. The backs are made to cut off the dead coil right? Are the fronts?

You should have gone with H&R or Eibach sporlines if you wanted more of a drop. Just seems like a hassle

i agree,

at first i was to worried about being to low. I have a gravel driveway with a big up and down hill on it!

butlowering another quarter inch or so with half coil shouldn't be too bad should it?
