I personally would cut no more than half a coil off to start, maybe less depending on the situation.

cutting 3/4 of a coil gave me a 1.5'' drop

Just cut my front springs 1/2 a coil and so far its given me about 3/4 drop. Hope it settles to that 1 inch I was looking for. Overall it looks great now. Hope to get it aligned on Monday. What I thought was going to be a 2 hour job turned into a 6 hour job. For the life of me I could not get that spring back into that lower pocket. Finally finished up about an hour ago. I didn't quite get that spring to sit exactly how it should be. I was lacking about 1/4 inch before it hit that recess on the lower control arm. I don't think it'll hurt, I hope.
