st184 sillycar Forums Junkie Location: Melbourne Registered: June 2004	Re: cutting springs Sat, 03 September 2005 07:41 As most of ya probly already know: Cutting springs leaves less spring force to stop bottoming. You WILL hit the bump-stops more often. When a cut-spring goes into full "droop" it won't have hit the captive length of the shocker yet. This lets the spring fall out. For standard shocks, get aftermarket lowering springs with a progressive rate - so that the soft end of the spring will expand to the O.E.M. spring length at full droop, staying captive. This type of spring also gives a V.Good ride as a bonus. Most O.E.M. springs are their stiffest at one or sometimes both ends. Think about cutting the stiffest part of your springs off for a second . . . . Even if your springs are soft-ended, you'd be cutting off the bit that keeps the spring captive at full-droop, and barely changing the ride height! You can get most King-springs at $120->$170 per pair, depending on who you know. Just do it right (or wait for the factory springs to sag!!). [Report message to a moderator]
