Project cutting front springs to lower car 1 inch.
I've given up on BMR coming out with a 1" drop front spring for cars like mine toting a 2.3TVS up front which makes the car sit 1/2" - 3/4" so I have decided to pull the spare pair of stock front springs out of the garage and whack them to obtain a 1" drop.
I would like to know how much to take out of the stock front springs for a total 1" drop. Absolutely no lower than that. 1/4 coil? 1/2 coil? 3/4 coil?
And do I take it off the top or off the bottom of the spring?
Thanks for the technical feedback in advance.
If you have actually done this on your FRONT STOCK springs please let me know how much you took out and how much it lowered the car, based on measurement taken from bottom edge of fender well to top of rim or bottom edge of the rim before and after. Thanks.
