So you cut the front coils 2" and you have the adjustable struts down two inches?
Or one or none
Plus the spindles..?

Struts down .75" and 2" McG. The coil was literally cut 2" from the end to give about. Not for 2" of drop, but for .25" of drop.

OHHHH lol ok that makes sense.
Did you not have to cut the 5303 coil to get down the 5th inch?

My drop is really 2.75"/4.75" but I just call it a 3/5.
The Belltech 5305 coils settle down to 4.75" after being installed for a couple of days.

My Belltech SP struts have a few spacers on them.
Enough to allow for .75" of drop only.
Also, the passenger side has one less spacer to make up for the GM drivers side lean. That is why I am closer to level all the way around.
