i've read a book and at school the recommend cutting only ONE coil off. It will lower the ride height and increase the spring rate. if you do it, be conservative and DO NOT USE A TORCH!! use a hack saw or recipricating saw, and dont get em too hot. Im not endorsing to do this but just giving my opinion and i will be trying it on my other car
BTW i go to wyotech and that is in the books from chassis fab, and 3 instructors with over 90 years experience said that was acceptable to do This post has been edited by b1gr3d: Jun 17, 2007 - 9:23 PM -------------------- Coming in 2010 full paintjob - new wheels - modified body - new interior - engine build- marriage |
