Default Part 1: How Coils Can Be Cut Successfully

That if a spring is too short, the spring is too short, and it doesn't matter if you paid $300 for a brand new too-short spring, or if you made them too short all by yourself.-Bob
---------
When someone wants me to lower their car with cut springs, the secret is in understanding how the suspension works, and measuring the suspension. I seem to be the only one on TR who can successfully cut springs without springs flopping around, without suspensions getting beat up, and without the tires being eaten up. AND I CAN PROVE IT.

When anyone wants to see for themselves that what I'm talking about is true, get
back to me.-Bob

You have a quote of what I did to my car to lower and also what I did to correct it
So what would of been the correct measurment 1 coil or half coil because me and (name deleted) did measure and the heighth was right but how do you measure spring rate or load GUESS that what cut springs are a big guess
