1 coil should do the trick.If not you can always take out more but you can't put it back.

to flip the ball joints, all you have to do is unbolt the bj's brom the bottom of the arms, and bolt them onto the top of the arms. you don't even have to unbolt them from the spindle. that gets you about 3/4" lower. make sur to support the bottom arm with a jack so the spring pressure is not on the bj's.

Oh, you can have your cake and eat it, too. Look at mine. bagged, bodydropped, set up for 20's (which i will soon be scooping up since the big fat tax return is soon to be here:) ) Mine will be a daily all year round except for winter, and I'm gonna love it.
