FYI, you will always have "dead coils" in a spring. "Dead coil" simply refers to the amount of coils in a spring that do not move/carry a load. On average the amount of "dead coil" is around 1 full coil...1/2 coil at the upper end and 1/2 coil at the lower end.

Look good though! Nice and clean!

Looks real good.That clay bar is the shlt for getting rid of the gritty feeling and making your paint feel smooth again.I clayed mine earlier this year and it made a big difference.

Well, I dont know if your springs are progressive, or linear... if so ..you might run into a problem because in progressive springs, each coil is spaced differently and have a variable spring rate. but i bought aftermarket Linear springs, which the drop per inch stays the same.throughout the whole spring.. someone correct me if im wrong or explained it wrong.
But give it a try, only thing is with a progressive rate spring, i dont think there is a way to tell exactly how much it will drop by cutting one coil, you might have to cut 1/2 or something. Im not to sure. Hope this helps somewhat..
