Lowered my 87, but she leans Reply #15 – October 17, 2006, 04:08:43 PM Quote from: TBirdNutt;108763When you cut springs, you will almost always change the temper of the spring material, which will have an impact on the spring rate and strength of the metal. "Tempering" a helical spring has no effect on its spring rate. It will change the yield strength and at what point the spring will "set". Quote Selected

Please.That's what coilovers are for. So he would spend the money on hardware to assist a lowered vehicle, but not on the springs themselves? Not that I'm against cutting springs, even planned on doing it myself, but I figured if I got to spend the money on the other parts I may as well cough up the dough on the springs as well. BTW, the Mustang looks good. Like the wheels.Quote from: gumby;108895i do. Me too. :) Quote Selected

By reducing the distance, it effectivly alters the spring rate.Quote from: 46Tbird;108841It's probably not the hot setup for autocrossing or tire wear but it looks cool. Who gives a shiznit how many Gs it can pull...Yeah...cutting springs is awesome, since everyone here drag races, and drives straight only! No turns for me! Quote Selected

No turns for me!It lowers the car and stiffens the spring rate. Yes, that's what everyone does for drag racing their Fox cars.Some of you guys are.... funny. Quote Selected
