lowering?

Hi.
We lowered the '81S by taking about 1.5 coils out, worked out fine and
looks good.
Good luck.

does any body relize that this was for my car and you all started
talking about differnt spings and stuff and no one asked me if i still 
had original springs or not which i do so if i cut a coil off of the
original springs it would be fine?

Note that taking a coil off of an 8v spring (to slightly lower an 8v
equipped car), will result in a decent rate that is not too
crazy.

(in reference to the posts from earlier today) - This is entirely
different than taking several coils off of a 16v spring, as it
starts at a higher spring rate before the cut, and cutting more coils
as nexessary for acceptable ride height on an 8v equipped car
only amplifies the effect further.
