My car being an ex 4 banger, it still has 4cyl springs all around.. Now my front sits low and my rear sits way up. So i was thinking of cutting the rear springs a little. Does neone have any estimates on how much i should take off?
Cutting Springs??

I don't recommend doing that but I'd start with a half coil maybe? I dunno dude.
PS: Put flame suit on
With my air compressor and 3" cut off tool, it doesnt seem like it would take that long or be to hard to do. Whats the big deal hehe
it wouldnt take long at all. with a brand new hack saw u could do it quick enough not to lose hardly any day time.
thier is almost a full loop on top of the spring that doesnt do much. cut that off to begin with. then just start 1/2 loop off. i cut 1 1/2 of and lowerd it about 1 1/2-3/4 on 5.0 springs if that helps any

I would start with 1/4 to 1/3 of a coil, then put them back in, set it down and check it. Maybe drive it a bit then measure it.
I recommend measuring the ride height to the fender lip or some point BEFORE you start. (don't ask..)
I cut twice on the rear to get about a 1 in drop, just like I noted above. Worked.
I cut 1/2 on the front, and it was too much. I see no reason why you should not cut.
