If you wanna drop your fox, get some 4 banger springs for cheap and do it. I did it to my wifes vert on the front and it has a nice rake to it now.

thanks, and rubbing wasnt an issue from lowering, even with the 10.5s in back. however on a full crank turn, i cant remember which but one side i had noticed a long time ago looked like it had rubbed on the control arm. but that was before the lowering and its not any worse now, plus i just remember to not go full crank.

Being that the stock springs are linear rate cutting them shouldn't have much effect on the ride. Like mentioned I probably wouldn't cut much more than a coil. Also don't be surprised if your stock struts wear out faster once you drop the car, and get an alignment or you'll chew up your tires.
