vert owners with c springs, I need feedback

I have been doing some searching and it seems that most people say that with vert's you don't need to cut the dead coil off the rear, but with coups you should, I plan on running this set up with 18" saleens......just wanna get some feedback from you vert owners or anyone else who may know the exact drop you get because it seems like the verts drop a little more than the coups due to weight. I am looking for a 1.25-1.50 drop and was planning on removing the front iso's to give it a slight raked look. pics would be helpful. thanks guys.
 
I just cut the dead coil off the rear of mine. Ride the same perform a little better. It sat to high in the rear for me. I also cut my stock springs if you do it right and don't hack off to much it's fine.
