I'm not recomending it, but if you do cut the coils start small. You don't want to ruin your set of springs by taking too much off. I would start with a quarter of a coil at a time. How low are you wanting it to get?

I think cutting springs is a really bad idea. I don't know much about using Eibachs, but I do use S/T springs and they have always offered a really nice ride along with the lowered stance. I have a set of 280 S/T springs that I would highly recommend. I got an extra set available also Shox.com offers S/Ts at a great prices.

Cutting springs is not a bad idea.

However, I would not cut stock springs, they are too soft to begin with. By cutting them, the car will drop but the ride will not be pleasant, likely bottoming out on large disturbances.

Ride comfort is determined by the combination of springs and dampers, with the dampers affecting comfort more-so than the springs. I think Eibachs with Tokico Illuminas should give a comfortable yet sporty ride, plus the Illuminas have adjustability so they can be set for cruising or racing. You say you'll be using Tokico dampers, but which ones?

From your sig pic, it looks like your Z is already lowered. Are you trying to lower it more?

I decided to cut one coil off each of the springs. In combination with the Tokico struts, the car rides great, no bottoming and at the desired ride height. For a bonus, it was easier to install. Less spring to compress and shove into the strut well.
