I don't know about part 1, but part 2...if they are not progressive and you cut EXACTLY one coil off, meaning the end of the coil is EXACTLY where the stock coil ends, there should be no fitment issues. As for part 3, there are also mixed opinions on that. I personally run Spax struts with my Eibachs, I was told they are somewhat of a stock SVT strut with stiffer valving, and they are holding up fine. People run a 1" drop with stock struts and many don't seem to have trouble, but it's a touchy subject to some people. Just some random thoughts, why don't you just buy the BAT kit or a suspension that is known to work. I just thought attorneys usually aren't that strapped for cash. Don't hate me, just curious.
