In theory, cutting a coil should stiffen the ride.  In practice, you will probably not notice unless you cut quite a few.

I had bilstein shocks put on the front end with new bushings, rocker arms, etc. everything new as possible. The shocks make my 77 set up higher than I like, I do like the way suncoutrys 76 looks. I paid so much for those dang shocks, $98.00 each, then I say them in Ecklers mag. for $85.00 each. I was very pissed at my mechanic. I feel like some one saw me coming dressed as an idiot. I think I'm going to try the 550 lb. springs. Gene

I threw the 550lb springs should not affect ride height out there based on what I read from Corvette Americas parts description. Now I'm interested in it I'm going to make some calls and see what people say.

I also like the way suncountry's stance looks.

I might just trying clipping off one coil and if that doesn't do the trick, I'll try the 550 lb springs.
 
Thanks everyone!
