Intensevil Forums Junkie Location: Melbourne Registered: March 2003	Chopped springs Tue, 18 January 2005 14:01 Before you come down on me like a tonne of bricks let me state that : NO I AM NOT GOING TO CHOP MY SPRINGS now that that is sorted i have a question reguarding the effects of chopped springs. My mates a mechanic and he had chopped springs in his comodore (now replaced with kings superlows) and he said that it made the car much much stiffer. How is this so? I read this thread about progressive rate springs http://forums.toymods.org.au/index.php?t=msg&t h=6729&rid=2211&S=53d231e43b8378846ff53cde cf84f307&pl_view=&start=0#msg_55305 so it sort of makes sense, but then why would the car bounce? Wouldnt this be due to inadequate shocks or because the spring rate is too low... or too high. Right now i'm under the impression that chopped springs will leave hte spring with the same spring rate as though they were unchopped but the travel of the spring is reduced but i have a feeling im wrong so what is it?
