Is there a reason you cut the springs and not the spring mounts? Unless you've already done that.
personally i wanted to keep the upper spring mounts intact and it would not have lowered the car far enough on hotchkis springs. this cut setup is really for someone seeking the low drop of around roughly 2" rather than the original hotchkis spec of 1/2" front / 3/4" rear.
on stock strut/shocks the front will still have 1.5" of wheel travel and rear will have 2" of wheel travel before full compressed on the bump stops (assuming you have trimmed the bump stops are required when lowering).
