Where do I start looking to find shorter coil springs to lower rear down. Called couple of big name companies and no help . 1948 oldsmobile series 76
Torch the very bottom turn evenly. That'll drop it 2-3 inches. Do it very non-aggressively so it doesn't warp ...

I'd have thought that they could have wound a shorter spring using OEM as a template or use substitute coils
That will kill the Temper in the spring. Some people might get away with it, still not correct. (I used to make prototypes at a spring company.)
