    Do I need to cut one more coil? Pics.

    These are the front springs from my Festiva, I'm mounting them in the rear with some new struts tomorrow. I'm going for very little to no gap between the top of the tire and fender lip. Will I need to cut one more coil off or will this be enough?

    This is how the front Rio struts with one and a half coils cut off of the springs.

    It would be best to install them and see how it sits, imo.

        The front looks good.

        You'll have to test the cut springs in the back to actually see the results. I don't think anyone here is so talented that they can tell you how high the back will be from looking at cut springs!

          Cut them twice and if they are too short trim them again!!!

          They are easy, lets see how they look!
