cutting 164 coils 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be slwrcar on  Wed May 4 09:38 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hi thanks for the input, however (gulp), I started the job by taking 1.5 coils off the top of the spring (and flattened the top coil). When I reinstalled the coils it heightened the overall stance. I was not satisfied, so I took almost another coil off (by now the coils are pretty short). Putting them back in I notice that they are now loose on the unweighted A arms. It did lower the car the amount I wanted, but the ride is pretty soft (should have kept it the way it was). A lesson to those thinking of doing the same.
If you have any suggestions of what I might be able to do to stiffen up the suspension tremendously I would appreciate it.
