What happens if the spring rate is too high or too low. I have read that if u cut your springs the rate can change. Just wondering what would happen. Thanks

it the spring rate is too high, your ride will be too stiff. If its too low, you'll bounce all over the place.

If the spring rate is too high, you'll be too stiff. If you hit a bump in a turn, you may lose it.
