Default Need some help choosing front coil springs

I currently have Hotchkis coils that have had 2 coils cut. With the combination of my tubular arms, 18" wheels the car nearly sets on the ground. I was told my lower control arms have deeper pockets.

With that said, do you guys have recommendations. I would like to find a spring that is drop in with no cutting needed. This car will be street driven. I am not ready to buy coil overs. I just want to get a good spring for now and then revisit coil overs when money allows.

Thanks, Andrew

Andrew – Two coils is a lot. Did you cut our 2-inch or 3-inch drop springs? Who’s lower control arms do you have? Do you have pics of the car?
