If I want to keep the same ride but want to lower the front end 1" should I cut the springs and if so, how many coils and should the cut be from the top or bottom. Also, any helpful suggestions on how to remove the lower control arm bolts that seem to be rusted stuck. Thanks.

I just did this, it's funny one bolt on each side slid right out while the other bolt was stuck. The rear bolts came right out. One front bolt took me 4 hours to remove and the other front bolt took me 6 hours. One came out the other I had to cut and drill.

As for cutting the coils I used a 4" angle grinder, use a cold wet rag or towel wrapped around where you are cutting so the heat doesn't move down the spring or it will weaken it. I cut 1 coil off the front and 1/2 coil off the rear, it lowered about 1" and now my floor jack don't fit under the cradle anymore.......oh well, looks cool.

I like the ride, but I've driven sports cars since I was 16 years old...
