    I got a set of 1" dropped springs for my '67 Vista Cruiser. They were made by BMR. Very nice quality products. You might want to check with them. Good luck.

    They make them....problem is....they are 2" drop and that is usually how much the old springs have sagged already. So measure your ride height and compare it to factory specs before you buy them. Eaton Springs makes them. Some people have purchased the drop springs and end up higher than the original sagged springs.

    I second the cutting of a coil. It's done all the time.

    Cutting coils is OK if you do not go crazy. Emphasis on cutting, not heating them up to collapse. Just cut and check, you can always cut more but you can't add back. The spring will increase in spring rate slightly, which being lowered is mostly a good thing.
