Best spring tutorial I've seen and heard. Thank you

Wow! Thank you! That is the best advice. The part about whatever you cut off will be doubled. I only wanted to do a two inch drop, I would have wound up with four (too much)!

This is true for American vehicles, but when trimming springs for Japanese vehicles, measuring a half inch while rotating the spring method won’t work, and will usually have the person wanting more low. I’ve done 1/4 coil cuts at a time until desired height just, it’ll lower ever so slightly it’s usually never an issue to over cut, when trimming 1/4 coil at a time

MIke..HELP. replacing my springs after a Shelby drop. Bought Eibach progressive rate with "supposedly" 1" drop. Okay, stock spring is 15 1/8 " tall, new spring is 12"...WHAT !!! I was almost able to put it in without a spring compressor. That CANNOT be right ...can you tell me what stock spring height is ? Now I have to fight eibach/summit on a return because I bought them several months ago in prep..UGgg..but theu say for 1966 V8 mustang drop 1"....advice? (PS - I pulled it out ...I wont trust that its safe that loose)

Does this change the spring rate of a linear spring? Would the spring rate go up or down?
