PETEK, I have the same springs as you. My car looked like an SUV! The book said if you buy the springs from CR just put 'em in! NOT!! I measured the springs and came to the same conclusion - gotta cut the the coils. The book said to cut 1 1/2 coils off which I did. Now the front frame "U" in front of the rad is 3 7/8" off the ground!! TOO LOW. I have coil overs on order. If you want to stick with the CR springs cut off 3/4 to 1 full coil. Hey, do you want to try my springs?
