People who have cut their Sprints. look inside!

I just have some questions. I don't think my car is very even specially when my gas tank is epmty. How much did you guys cut from the spring and where did you guys cut it from. The buttom or the Top of the spring? did that fix the uneven problem? will the car ride the as smooth as it does right now or will it be all bouncy?

I cut one full coil of the rear of my Sprints, I pretty sure from the top of the spring. The ride is not bouncy at all with the KYB's set to 3/6.

I chose not to cut the rear coil, so im using a different spring in the rear(arospeed). Car rides fine even though im sure the spring rate is different. My car looks even to me.

With one coil cut on Sprints, the rear is a tiny bit higher, but evens out perfectly while driving

When you cut the rears do the springs still provide a level seating surface?
