Lowering front after engine swap

So my 82 custom cruiser now situp up a few inches higher in the front end after a LQ4 swap. The motor is lighter than the 307 and the 350 i had in there, and with more trans weight in the middle of the car and the aluminum hood ive snagged (because race car ) I need to get the front end back down. Ive got new bilstiens on it, (best easiest suspension upgrade) and i know about spring rates and all that stuff, ive got no issue cutting the coils (not with a torch) to bring it down a bit. Anyone give me an idea on how much drop ill get from 1 coil? Gonna start with one and see where its at, but if anyone has an idea id love to hear it. Thanks!

Mark

Some other posts suggest 1 coil will be 1-2 inches....
