I followed the instructions here:I agree. How did the cut springs look?
https://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=5204.30
and it turned out just as expected. I always thought it seemed a little bit "jacked up" and this just settled it a bit. Noteworthy tips:
1) Cut half the height of spring that you'd like to have the car lowered. For example, we cut ¾" to lower the car 1½".
2) In the eatondetroitsprings link on the above forum thread in the OP they indicate that cutting enough to lower 2" is an ok amount to cut (that would mean to cut 1" of spring height). I'd be a little concerned about cutting more than we did because when we replaced the springs they weren't quite tight between the control arm and subframe. If we took the full 1" of spring height to lower it an additional ½" I'm pretty sure the spring would wiggle around in the seats at full extension. He's gonna wash it today and then I think I'll take some pics to post here. Maybe some side by side son and pop SHO pics.
