Take it easy on cutting springs you can quickly take away progression and add rate which translates into rough ride. Don't forget about Dave Rughs springs which I use alot on GTVs they probably lower a tiny bit more but not too much. E-mail me if you want his # at
giuliasuper1967@aol.com There are other ways to lower the cars a little washers between the front a-arms and spring pans deeper spring pans thinner shims in the spring pans and in the rear looking at any spacers that may be sitting on top of the rear springs. If you are going to keep the car don't cheap out on shocks Koni or Bilsteins are the best. And don't forget rebushing the suspension it's amazing what a difference that makes on its own!
