Don't some companies have dead coils on their springs for this purpose? Perhaps call the manufacturer of your springs to see if they purposefully put in dead coils so you could cut maybe 1/2 coil.


It's definitely not the way to go, but it will give you the desired height you want. The problem is, your ride quality and handling will be greatly affected.

No. That is not the purpose of "dead coils."

STOP.

I was never serious about cutting my coils. I just heard through random conversations that the deal coils could be cut. I didn't know if it's a legit clame or not.

cutting springs = not legitimate. end of discussion.

Sure 'nuff.

Although, I don't think the OP was ever going to cut his springs. I think he was just looking for the legitimate reasons why it's a bad idea.
