Mongoose, et al:

can y'all tell the difference ?
I sure as hell can't...but I feel a little more stiffness. I kinda like the results so far. The added stiffness actually seems to match the Bilsteins' stiffer shocks. It now seems like the springs aren't overworked for the shocks.

But again, I can't tell the difference in fenderwell gap at the rear. SHould I yank them out again and cut another coil ? Another 1-1/2 coils perhaps ? Hell, I'll go two more if it'll get me an inch more drop. What should I do ?

I'll install the front later on this week, but do y'all think one coil's gonna result in zero/marginal drop in the front ? See how tall of a gap my front is currently ? Should I leave it at one coil or should I go more aggressively ? I don't mind experimenting in the rears, but in the front, I gotta know more precisely because I expect to cough up for a front end alignment when it's all said and done.
