Cutting a 2" drop spring
Iv got 2 " drop spindles and 2" drop spings in the front right now and I would like it just a little lower. Anyone ever cut an already dropped spring? I know its not the nice way to do it, but just enought for another inch or 1 1/2 inches. I know the ride may stiffen up and bit and $114 isn't a whole lot of money for 3" springs, but $114 would buy me something else. Im just asking if someones done it and what they thought about it. Pictures would be great if you had em.
Thanks fellas -Andrew |

Re: Cutting a 2" drop spring
Don't cut more than 1/2 coil.
That's the max for your 2" drop spring, or it will be too loose in the spring pocket.

Re: Cutting a 2" drop spring
1/2 a coil will give you about an inch drop.
