Depending on the size of the coils you could cut one coil off at a time. I cut my stock springs and fitted them to a 95 G20. We hacked off about 3 coils off my stock springs. The funny part was that the ride quality improved drestically when we put the cut springs on his car. It dropped it about 2.5" and he has about a finger gap all the way around. It actually looked great and rode 100% better. That was even with blower struts.
Oh and food for thought what ever you do. DO NOT get a cheap set of coilovers from ebay. That is what he originally did and we found out that they didn't fit and there was literally no spring rate. It would have been like using a piece of pipe as a spring. Thats why we cut my stocks. We didn't want to put it back together without doing something to his car to lower it. Sorry for my rambling...lol

I agree...ebay is good for small items but something as important as suspension I would pay more at a shop for something I can trust!

You can trust some of the things there but the $50 set of coilovers shipped are big time crap. They did not fit at all.
