How about every aftermarket spring I've seen opinions of are stiffer than OE and they tend to lower the car more than I'd like?

Working with a smaller diameter spring as on the Z is not as easy as working a larger diameter spring.

I understand the trial and error and is why I asked if it had been done.
On my latter vehicle and based on others findings there was a set amount from the end of the top coil that one would cut for the prescribed drop. I bought that car with aftermarket springs and the front ride was hellacious. I returned cut OE springs to the front the make it enjoyable again. Never hurt a thing including OE nor aftermarket shocks, struts, mounts etc. Many owners of that car cut OE until they get to the straight line power level and traction that requires a stiffer setup.
Thanks for the input, I didn't realize the diameter came into play!
