T.L. do it right. NPD has 550 rate springs that will drop you an inch for $67 bucks. I have the 550s in the front of my car and 620s in the front of my Mustang and the handling improves dramatically over anything stock that you could cut. Part number for 550s is 5310-2b. The drop in the car isn't as dramatic as this image of course, as the spring is much stiffer. The ride is not harsh at all. JMO of course. With all this talk of torching springs, I'm driving two lanes over from any classic car on the freeway....LOL!
