Chopping springs, what problems?

Someone on another forum bought some springs, which don't fit his motor although he was told they will. He is thinking of cutting a coil off so they fit in the seat properly. Bad idea and I think it's very dangerous but for what reasons would it be?

Many things here....

1: If the coil is "pig tailed" it won't fit the perch any more

2: If the coil is progressive the rate will change

3: If the damper is not adjustable the rebound will be pants

4: The damper stock will be compromised on bump and could bottom out

 

Trim springs are for Somalia... :rolleyes:
