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!

The other thing about the front springs on the Z. The ends are flattened. You can't cut the spring without flattening the ends for it to work. And you don't have the equipment to flatten the ends.
You can get the springs in almost any spring rate you want to begin with.
