You will ruin the spring rate and wear the shocks twice as fast if you do this. Just buy new springs and shocks and do it the right way.

i HAVE eibach sportlines.. it doesn't get much lower then that.. and if you look at maximum motorsports website the SHOCKS for a lowered stang spec is the same part number as a stock ride height one. ONLY the struts are changed on a lowered mustang, which i have a camber kit which shoves the struts way up at different bolt location so my struts are moved up prety high to match the springs.

well anyways the question still stands, which end is the dead coil end? cuz on a progressive rate spring theres active ends and then theres dead coil ends.
