what do you guys use to cut the springs? How much is 1 coil and do you cut from the bottom or top of th e spring? Thanks!
grinder is what we used...what i was told 1 coil is = to about 1 inch and you cut the bottoms

When you and a passenger are in the car, it probably looks like they way your want. I think that it looks great the way it is.
Keep in mind the weight difference between 99/01 and 03/04 in the front. I don't know how our cars react to to 03/04 springs, but with aftermarket springs the front end doesn't drop as much on our cars. I'd probably start with 1 coil then go from there.
a grinder? that seems like it 'd take way too long
Did anyone else use something else to cut their springs?
thanks for clearing that up.. i was about to cut one full coil off hahahahahah.
so 1" = 1 coil.
1 coil = 360° of spring
So would this be cutting 1 coil all around? Marked in red.
And do you cut from the bottom or top?

Yes, that would be 1 coil. Mark a point on the spring, trace the spring down with your finger, when your finger meets the point, that is one coil.
The springs also have a flat side - do not cut from this side.

Die grinder with cut off wheel attachment. They can be had at harbor freight for about $15.
is this what i would need to cut on my 2000 gt
I thought for sure someone said that the dead coil (bottom/flat end) was the end you wanted to cut??
