interesting read fellas...

really the two crap things i think about cutting springs are

- the lack of staying in the seat because of the lip that is created

- the bump stop that it usually rests onas a result of too much cutting.

cutting your spring actually increases your spring rate so that it is stiffer, which is a good thing! its just that by doing it you are shortening the travel available which is a step backwards in handling.

not too sure about that comment about all the cars weight being on the tip of the spring, it still disperses throughout the srpring, just that the cup that it sits in doesn't hold it in there true so something like bending the end needs to be done.

i've cut many springs in my time and its a great cheap way to lower your car and give slightly better handling. i have never heard of any stories of damage or accident as a result of chopped springs

if you have the $100 odd just invest in some lowered king springs. otherwise chop well my friend!
