shinybluesteel Forums Junkie I supported Toymods Location: melbourne Registered: June 2002	Re: Cutting springs Thu, 01 May 2003 00:56 hey, i don't recommend cutting springs at all, ESPECIALLY for people who don't have a clear understanding of what they are doing. the formula i gave is roughly right, if you shorten a spring (and don't change anythiung else), its rate is increased, this is definate. simple way to cheak, get ruber band, cut it so it is one long bit of rubber, measure free length, hang weight on it, measure stretched length. cut this long bit in half, repeat experiment, it will not stretch as far due to its spring rate being increased. look up springs on howsuffworks.com if you don't believe me. a car with cut springs will bottom out more because it doesn't have to travel as far to hit them, not because the spring rate is reduced. Micbod, PM soon to be sent. [Report message to a moderator]
