weld on coil overs but what springs? length? weight?

[steer from the rear]

Right got to lower my roller skate of a clio cheapest lowering kit is springs...60 quid for some, not bad till I seen it lowers it 60mm on the front, I think this is a bit excessive and I like to mess about so seen these weld on coil over kits for like 26 quid and I know the 2.25 springs are not that dear but say I cut the "cup" off the std front strut and weld a threaded sleeve on.......where do I go from there? How do I know if what I order will go coil bound or not long enough or to long HELP.

its a 1.4 16 v clio (182 shape) I want adjustable ride height for pennys please :wasntme:

I do know I did it to office chair lmao. Think it will be a case of broken arc and swap between the two shocks going to search the boards for the most popular aftermarket 2.25" coil over spring I.e length and rate and go from there. Should manage to make some high adjustable suspension for 70 quid

all because a spring is advertised as '60mm' its probly far from that more like 35mm....
sometimes....
