well I decided that I'm going to lower the 65 but cutting the coils.I done it on my 74 Nova.My 2000 mustang GT and a few foxbodies mustangs with no issues at all.the Foxbodies and the 2000 GT hsve pig tails in the back coils. I'm just wondering how much should I cut? I want it LOW but not so low that my tires rub.if it will help ill post my tire size front and rear.I know not to go more than 2 coils.I have a v8 in the front which adds weight.so can someone tell me where to sfsrt on cutting the coils as how much to cut from each.btw this is temporary im doing it just for tgr rodrun.

zero is the amount to cut any coils .... and the V8 actually weighs less than the 6
