How much should i cut my coil springs? Pic inside

[ShortThrow50]

Took this pic 2 years ago after i put my frpp "c" springs inw/ all new iso's and one full coil cut off rears. How much d you recommend i cut off both front and rears. I still have a rake even with the rears cut. I would like the rake gone and have almost no gaps in the tops of the fender to top of wheels. Im guessin another full coil of the rears and 3/4 col off the fronts. Let me know what yo guys think. Yes the car is now tintned lol

Im afraid of the samething when i lower My 93 Convertible..Right now it sits like a truck and has an awful rake to it...I would like it lower but level is what i want so any ideas...Maybe iso's in the front none in the rear?

The max recommended amount has already been cut off. The rears have a "dead coil" that does not affect spring rate..only ride height. Cutting additional coils off the rear or the front will change the rates and affect ride quality.

If you want a different look, change the springs.

ride quality how bro? I dont care if it gets stiffer. I dont mind at all. This car sees 200 miles a year at the most. Its a garage whore. I just want this thing to look low and nasty. Removing iso's is not an option, i dont want my metal to get deteriorated

Stiffer and bouncier.


Depends on your shocks you are running

If you want that thing to look low and nasty then you are going to need some new wheels and tires, or at least something wider in the rear, maybe some drag radials. And rake IS nasty. Sorry, all I have is pictures of notches, the black one is my inspiration for my 89. How do you like the tko-600? I dont care for my viper spec so I was looking at those.

Ok so scrap the idea of cutting any more of my springs. This guys drop looks perfect. Is this with all Iso's in?

Cutting springs FTL, unless you LIKE feeling like you're riding around in a go-cart.

My Ex cut the springs on my Capri years ago. I need to replace them.

yup that is with bbk iso's in the front and rear.. i would never not use iso's. my friend has a 96 mystic cobra with no iso's and everytime he hits a bump you can here a bang.. plus it wears out your control arms over time...

I have no idea. I got the pic off google images when I was looking for ideas for my notch. If anyone knows anythig about the suspension and wheel/tire setup on this car I would love a pm Sorry to jack the thread.
