i haz a question for you n your spring cutting techniques.. idk how close the coils are on ksports in front, but on progress fronts they are pretty far apart.. im thinking cutting the one bottom coil out would kill my front end for sure in terms of being rough or too low, but do you have any opinions on it?


heres a pic with the front spring obviously on the left

im curious about this as well. i want to cut a coil out of my front springs, im on progress too

1LowLS

Ksports look about the same.If you cut 1 full coil,it should be about half an inch to an inch max..actually as I look at it more.yours are way more apart than mine.I would go maybe a coil off the bottom of the spring

and whats the best method to cut em? just a cutting wheel or what? i know the less heat the better

1LowLS

I've used a cutting wheel and a cold saw.The cutting wheel generally doesnt generate enough heat to mess with spring rates.just try to be quick with it.

hmmm... this might be a spring time project.. i just really dont want to cut it only to have it dropped too low..

ill probably need another alignment then i imagine

Tundraboarder666

It's true... cut about a coil and a half off my fronts

padlock

iTrader: (9)

well it be pretty much impossible to cut 3.5 coils out of progress springs in front.. they only have like 4.5 coils total haha


the rears on the other hand have like 7..

1LowLS

100% serious .There's still spring left.The Ksports are more wound than yours,so I had more material available to cut off.

padlock

iTrader: (9)

thats kinda wat i figured then.. lol

1LowLS

word.I'd do 1 coil max on yours

padlock

iTrader: (9)

yea thats what i was thinking.. im still kinda ehh on cutting the 1 coil haha.. i dont wanna butcher a good set of springs..


guess ill just have to man up and do it
