Don´t cut your coils! Buy the Hotchkis coils, they lower the front 2". Be careful concerning the front sway bar end links; I had to turn mine around because they were pinching the outer part of my regular disc spindels. Of course you also could cut off the overlapping screw thread but turning them around was easier...
(BTW - this is the car on a lifting platform, the wheels are relaxed, that´s why the balljoints look so aslope... Nevertheless, the distance between the end links and the spindles doesn´t change considerably when loaded again)
