You want to replace your front 620's with something else? Sorry, but you didn't specify what your looking to achieve...

no they are stock height. 1/4 coil should get you about 1" but you well need to weight at least a month for the suspension to settle before you get that full 1" drop. Cutting coil springs and using shorter springs is a catch 22 it improves stance but reduces suspension range of motion and stiffens the springs so it has its place but I recommend doing it sparingly. With 620 AND half a coil cut off it is no wonder you are driving a tank. The actual rate of your springs is probably in the 650-675 ranges sense the more you cut the stiffer they get.
