Re: Cutting front coils

If you have coils that have 2 inches worth of drop then I DON'T recommend cutting them.

Anything over 2" of drop in a front coil can possibly cause alignment difficulties. I would look to spindles if you want further drop.

With bags, the most it drops is 4 inches, that's without spindle drops. I know there is a guy on here who cut his coils and he was hitting his bump stops. i wish I kept my OG coils.

Re: Cutting front coils

bags can also be adjusted to the proper height for an alignment
