Found a place that does 4WD coils, they tested the spring rate and reset them the same rate (lbs/in²)
but a little lower, worked out pretty good.

I didn't know you could do that to springs. I'm sure there's nothing like that around here in BFE. I'd like to lower the back of mine some too.

Can you make me another one ? I have a 1-1/8 red doner car.

It's pretty common practice here, takes the guesswork out of ride hight and cost 1/3 price of new springs.
Try some serious off road suspension guys, they usually know who will reset springs.
Thanks for all the positive comments, it seems to hook up a little better as well :D
Hey Brett where you been ?
