Cutting Hotchkis Coils
I've installed Hotchkis coil springs on my 70 Chevelle on all four corners, they lowered it about and inch, also I've put the tall ball joints and adjustable upper A-arms from Savitske Classic & Custom, Wow can't say enough about how great this car drives, but the front of the car still sits about 3/4 of an inch to high for my taste. I have been driving the car on Saturdays for about a month so I think they've settled as much as there are going to, my question is has anybody done the calculations so as to how much of the coil I'm going to have to cut to get the drop I need, 1/2 of one coil, 1/4 of one coil? I'm just trying to afford the hassle of taking apart, cutting, installing, driving, taking apart, cutting, driving, etc,.
Also if I decide to lower the rear, what are my options, can't cut those.
