I had the same issue as Stocker, the nose of my car was much higher than the rear. It looked like the car was going up hill all the time.

So I cut exactly 1 coil from the front springs. It still sits higher in the front but it's less noticeable now.

If it's a value-add to the thread, revive away!



If you didn't, now is the time to go back and dress the end of the spring so it does not chew through the spring perch, but otherwise good job and thanks for the before/after pictures.

I rounded out the cut ends with a grinder, if that's what you mean by "dress"
