When I was a poor student I decided that my new 73 Toyota could use some lowering. I pulled the front coils and cut a full turn off the coils. I was interested in fuel economy as gas was sometimes over 50 cents but was mainly interested in handling.
Reducing a coil will increase the spring rate. I have done it many times on off road motorcycles. If you want to maintain ride height you have to put in a spacer.
