New spring help for the 1991 v6

Hi folks,

just got some 5602 Moog springs for the front to replace my originals- 250,000 miles on the odometer... I am going to cut them to drop the car a little, but a 1/2 coil doesn't look like I will get much drop.

Do you recommend cutting a 1/2 coil(about how much of a drop can I expect with a 3.1 V6 in it?) and how much off the back? I am looking for 1-2 inches drop- 2 at the most...

I was going to use heater hose for isolators on the front- what about the back?

Thanks guys and gals!

hard to say, usually people cut 1/2-3/4 off. But every car is different. your going to have to try a cut, 1/4 or 1/2, put them in the car, put it all back together and see what you get.

you can use the heater hose iun the back too, it will lower the back 1/2-3/4"
