C2 (1967) coil springs
Hello - I am new to the group so please forgive me if this topic has been covered before - I do not see a way to search past threads without going through them one at a time.
I am trying to bring down the front end on my 67 by approximately 1/2 - 1 inch and thinking about cutting off half a coil on the front springs. Has anyone tried this before and if you have, how did it effect the overall handling?
The rear end of my car sits lower than the front end so the stance doesn't seem right. I tried adjusting the leaf spring bolts all the way up but the rear still sits about 1/2 inch lower compared to the front (measuring at the bottom of the wheel well).
I tried using the aftermarket coil springs (7 coils and 12/1/2 height) but it still sits high. I was thinking about cutting 1/2 coil off of these springs.
I am also wondering if they sat this way when new.
Any input would be appreciated.
