Don't cut the coils... Its not good... Take the coils down to Roanoke Spring Works and see what they can do for you...

what kind of coils? if their coild on struts. you might be bottoming out the strut and thats why it won't go lower.

thats what my old set-up did.

well it could be that your struts are bottoming out and thus not letting it go lower.
