[QUOTE="Red97Snake, post: 2031462, member: 26970"] I cut my stock springs the first time I did a lowering job, too. Its a good way to determine how much drop you actually want because you can chop springs that you've already got and not worry if you bought the right hieght set of springs. Then go buy the springs you want. Besides...you DO change the interity and rate of the springs all together. I'm no engineer but what I read once stands to reason. A spring designed for a specific application has certain necessary variables that comprise it. 1) thickness of metal, 2)metal compound 3) number of turns (the twists) per the given diameter of the metal thickness....SO. If a 'Stangs spring is supposed to have 8 turns in it and you remove one you've compromised it and also made it unsafe for highway travel. I know. I did this. Also...the MOST important thing here READ THIS...when you hits bumps...you GET THE CHEAP "I CAN'T AFFORD SPRINGS SO I'LL CHOP THEM RICER BOUNCE"!!!!! :xpl: So go buy H&R Springs...AWESOME!!! :rockon: :rockon: Do it right!
