Do you have a picture of your car?, With the 5660 coil cut 1 1/2 coils plus drop spindles that should drop the car over 6"

Car has an aluminum ls1 so I don’t think it’s the 6” of drop you would see with an iron headed small block, front tires are 205/65/15

You save under 100 lbs with the aluminum engine. Your drop spindles are at least a 2" drop and on a 5660 spring for ever 1/4 coil cut it will drop the car 1" so with 1 1/2 coils cut that would be close to 8", as a spring is cut it increases it's stength so the 1" per 1/4 coil would not be consistent, plus your drop spindles which would put your frame resting on your lower control arms.

this is my GP with 5660 springs with 1/2 coil cut and a 1/2" tall lower ball joint....

WTH is going on in the back? Independent rear or funny camera angle? It looks like one of those Camber Kid cars.

I don’t think a quarter coil gets 1” drop and there’s no way it’s lowered 8” in the front
