ride height
I further researched the springs I put on my chevelle. they are moog 6330. the install height is advertised at 11.25,load 1827,spring rate 293,free height 17.5 but my ride height is so high I need to take out shims on the right side to properly align the front end. problem there are no shims to remove. this is why I asked about cutting them. I know different springs are probably the right way to go but project budget has run dry for a while and cruise in season is fast approaching. So does anyone know about how much drop one coil is worth? Thanks

Every car is different on how it responds to cutting springs, etc. And it makes it worse when you add fiberglass hoods, etc. Aluminum heads, etc. I would cut half a spring at a time. Keep in mind when you torque down the A-arms, etc. The suspension needs to be loaded first. Look out for any binding of the bushings, etc.

how far do you want to drop the front?
how long have the springs been in the car? they will settle some |
