biased99 Forums Junkie Registered: May 2002	Re: Cutting springs Wed, 30 April 2003 03:19 I think the "nays" have it... Think of it this way, if you're lowering the car, you need a stiffer spring (for compression damping) so the car doesn't hit the bump stops...Better yet, a variable or "progressive" rate spring - like the Kings, would do this. Cut springs, however, are constant rate, and are designed to work at OEM height. In addition: Cutting the springs will weaken the metal, particularly around the cut area. Putting cut springs back in the car is dangerous because they will "move around" in the holders, and can actually fall out in certain conditions... In short, don't do it!
