RE: cutting springs

["Mike Weiler" <lerb@redrose.net>]

We found a half a coil to be about 3/8th of an inch.......not to mention you
have now changed the way your spring may react to the pearch it resides
in.....progressives we have successfully cut but regular spring that we have
done in the past were nothing but trouble! I would say cut a half at a time
and see what you think before you wack a whole one of its quite a
difference!


hope you are not one of the deletes of useless info also!

Subject: cutting springs


I am about to swap my boges for bilstein sports
(finnally) and I am thinking I want to bring the car
down a bit.  ( I went up 1/2" when I intalled
eurobumpers)  I have neuspeed sport springs.  They are
progressively wound so they have a few dead coils on
the ends.  Has anyone cut out some of the dead coils
to lower the car more?  I was thinking about 1 in the
rear, 1 in the front.  (Of course I would measure to
make sure I take an equal amount out of both.)  Any
advice from some one who has done it before

thanks for any info,
Tony
87 16v (about to go lower)
