Turn the spring over an cut 1 coil from the bottom. Dont be tempted to cut two. Cut it directly below where the original end of the spring is. that way it will sit back in the pocket correctly in the lower a-arm. One coil is a shorter spring but also able to support less weight so a smaller compressed height. One coil should be 2 1/2 - 3 inch drop.
