Would love to know how this worked out for you.

I've had several posts on here of the results after installing everying and cutting the front coils down, drove my SS to work today and took this picture..

Did you cut half a coil or a full coil off the front 2" Umi lowering springs?

My fronts are Eibach Pro Kit Springs, and I cut 3/4 coil off of them.

So Eibachs suck too?

I have nothing good to say about them, called them for info and the guy said what I had for the GBody was an old kit and could email me info on it, never got anything back. I cut the fronts down because I could given the shape of it and the rears are here in a box because I have no use for them.

Clearly not. Some Trimming is to be Expected.
I thought he was saying he got that great stance from UMI. Confused me.

I got my fan switch panel I made earlier installed and wired in my center console, I used Rivnuts to mount it to make it easier to remove if I have to.

I've mentioned it somewhere that the fronts I was trimming down but yea I bought the Eibach Pro Kit in Nov 2010 and installed it on my SS, so far the UMI Rears are settling in nicely and I trimmed the Eibach fronts down since I had that option without needing to spend any money on new front coils.

any time you static drop something it's a crap shoot,i don't care what marketing says.there's a few different factors with the car itself/owners vision's etc so there's no slam dunk of an application.plenty of people that had to trim the Moog 5662&5660's to their liking and those are revered springs in the GM world..

Yup there are a few manufacturers that even say trim to fit what you want. Weight of the car varies as well as a few other things.
