I ended up cutting one coil, which I believe is too much. I wish I cut 1/2 coil and then fine tuned it from there. Probably 3/4 of a coil would have been perfect. Odd thing, driver side's spring was tight when the spring compressor was removed and the passenger side was loose enough where another 1/4" would have been needed to make it tight like the driver's side. I measured a number of times and both coil springs are exact, within an amount which is not perceptible to the eye. So, not upset but not 100% either. On the ground, the car is the same height on both sides. I will measure again tomorrow to see if anything changed.

Drove it home, and made sure I drove it aggressively around the corners, et cet. Got a number of "t w a n g s" so to speak, but cornering is really really nice. Overall, the only thing I regret or would have done differently is cut 1/2" coil, drove it around for a day or two, and then decide to cut some more or not. The 18mm rear springs are definitely an improvement over 15.9mm 240D springs. Again, wish I only cut 1/2 coil, and then maybe another 1/4 of a coil at most. I currently got 19mm rubber pads, so I am pretty much stuck with what I got.
