It ended up sitting too high.
I got greedy and cut 1 1/2 coils off, sat too low. It was a lot easier to get them in, though!
I found another set (Both sets were new, unused, bought from guys on The Corral.) and cut 1 coil. The height was good.
My car is not an all-out drag car. If it were, I'd be concerned that by cutting the springs, I increased the stiffness too much, reducing the effectiveness of the weight transfer.
