Default coil cut-actual ride height drop conversion ?

is there some kind of system to figure out what size drop i will get in accordance with what size of cut i make on coils ?? i cut a turn and a half of the rear coils off and was just wondering if it would be enough for about a 2-3" drop ?

Exclamation Cutting Coils Is Bad News

Do a search on the subject and you will see how many people will tell you to not do that..Unsafe!

heating your springs is better then cutting them. but if u heat them too much especially in the front your car will drop all the way in the front. had a friend heat the front springs way too long and front end slammed to the ground cause of the motor weight so he had to buy new front springs.

If you really want to drop your car, wait the 2 weeks and buy the parts then. Why does the car need to be dropped right this second?
