I don't think I would go that much, from the picture you posted above it looks like it will be dragging everything!
It looks great, but not sure how it will be driving. Have you PM'd any of the guys that have done a full coil to see how it is and if it drags allot?

i was gonna do the 1/2 a coil up front and 3/4 in the back, but since i decided to ditch the 275-40 up front, im gonna go 3/4 all the way around since I will be using a 245-40 or 255-40 up front, cuz i dont want to have a big gap between the tire and fender...what do you guys think?????

I would recommend an alignment when you are done.
Shane, Let me know what you think when you are done. I think it looks awesome, but I know I would forget to slow down on entrace to parking lots and such...
I am going with full coil out in the rear and about 1/2" short of full coil in the front this weekend with out stock Isos. Stock Coupe Springs. Cut from the bottom. Want to get a level rake. I am picky where I drive my car so should be ok. Not a DD. I know the streets where I live and dont mind walking if I have to park some where else. Will take befor and after pictures.

Since you are running straight pipes from the cats you should be okay, if you decide to put mufflers on I will bet you will drag them on the smallest bump in the road.
I scrape now when I hit a high spot in the road and the car bounces any at all. I have found on surface streets I am okay most of the time, but on the highway and higher speeds is where I have scraped mine.
I plan on getting under the car and see if I can get mufflers a little higher.
Make sure to post you pictures.

I've lowered 5 Cobra's so far. 3/4 coil all the way around looks the best without being a scrape hog. more than 3/4 and it will be a PITA to jack the car up, pull up on regular ramps... etc.
car rides and handles exactly like stock
1/2 Coil cut all the way around (from the buttom) stock ISO's
stock wheels

I purchased hard top springs and cut one full coil off the bottom. Stock rim. 40 profile tire
This is one coil off - both Iso's in front and none in back.
The front was not low enouph for me so I took the Iso's out of the front. Now I like it alot. May take a 1/8" or little more out of the rear. It rides great. Havent been able to take corners with it yet.
Not bad on scrapeing the ground either. Been on some inclines already and no problem.
Front gap. Full coil cut,no Iso. coupe spring
Rear gap. Full coil cut, no Iso. Coupe spring
