You need to cut the front springs, and for the rear, you need square tube, and custom u bolts, look at my photos, I have some rear pics of it, there is a guy on ebay that makes the custom u bolts for you.

I have a lowered coupe (lowering by Miles C.) that use sedan struts that are 1" lower, and spacer blocks for the rear axle.  I don't think the u-bolts are custom.  Anyhow, the handling is much better than stock.

A better handling is what I'm looking for. I'll build custom spacer blocks. But if I do so, the stock U-bolts will be too short. What heighth would you advise for a correct lowering ?
For the front : don't know if I'll be able to say what I mean in english... You suggest to cut the front springs. But the last coils of the stock front springs are shaped to fit in the bottom and top "spring retainers" of the struts. If you cut the springs without shaping their ends, they won't fit in the "retainers".
Do not hesitate to change my vocabulary if you don't understd my poor english.
Thank you.

"Spring seats" sounds better than "spring retainers".... Thank you.....

Most trailer repair shops can build new u bolts. It u take your old ones in to the shop and just ask them to make new ones with the same curve but longer.

Me vuelvo loco. El traductor de google traduce tonterias. Yo no entiendo nada.
Me pregunto si existen unos muelles de otros veh�culos que tenga medidas similares pero fuesen mas cortos.
I'll go crazy. Google translator translates nonsense. I do not understand anything.
I wonder if there are no shorter springs another vehicle that can adapt.
