Half a coil to a coil at most. I took off half a coil offf WS6 springs...gave me a 1" to 1.5" drop IIRC.

I agree 1/2 of a coil. Make sure you keep the spring cool while it is being cut. Do not use a torch.

If you cut 1/2 a coil off of your front springs how low does the car sit? and what sized tires are you running? (Are they rubbing?)

I'm running 225/50/16's on the front and I barely clear the inside fender when the wheel is fully turned. (I have an 88'sprt coup if that makes a difference.)
