Tony Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Depends on the type of spring but i personally don't approve of "trimmed springs". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 ive seen some that were fine, lasted forever, others ive seen, dislodge and were bordering on dodgy i ran a car with them on the rear for a few years, with no problems what so ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 The "no's" are pig tailed and progressive springs, other than that you can trim them but remember the damper stroke has limits on bump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I remember years ago they did spring clamps which would either compress or expand the springs to give a lowered or higher stance not seen them for years though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
