Default 4cyl springs

How much will 4cyl springs lower the front of my car? I already have 4cyl struts and want the springs to transfer weight even more.

4 cylinder sprigs have more stored energy...they are a lesser weight spring that will compress more with the heavier motor and will unload better for launching. They are kind of like a drag spring, and I hear they will lower your front end about a inch from stock.

Don't know, but they are better than stock 5.0 springs, and are cheap.
