cutting fron springs.
I am about to go from a pair of shot v6 springs to a pair of z28 springs that have been cut maybee 1 top coil at most. will this cause me to lose any handling? I kinda like the lower front end so thats no issue just the handling. i would image i would lose about 1 inch of clearance.

I cut my springs in the front. One coil = about 2 inches. It was a little low for my taste. When you put the coil back on make sure the bottom of the coil is inward. It didn't noticably hurt my handling, but ground clearance is an issue. If you wanna see what 1 coil looks like, check out the K member post a few down.
