When you first swapped the springs, before you cut them, how long did you wait to let the springs "settle" before you decided it wasn't enough drop?

Hmmm I think like 2 days the first time lol
They had acually raised my car about 1/2" over the stock springs, which I also had coil spring boosters on them haha
And still with the little that I cut, it only dropped it about 1/4"
It's supposed to be a 1.5" drop in the rear and 1.7" in the front
I'm hoping for at least another 1/4" of drop in the rear when they do "settle"

OK, I'm glad to see you actually did wait a little before deciding on the cut
