To cut or not to cut May 09, 2012, 09:42:40 PM So I had the bird out in the yard earlier to make room for changing oil in my Mustang. I put the new non-adjustable CHE LCA's in a couple of weeks ago along with TC-spec Moog springs. I have been hoping that the springs will settle some but so far they have not. I think it is sitting too high in the rear and now am contemplating cutting the springs some to get it lowered down. I'm just afraid to cut and then the springs end up settling and being too low!So what do you guys think? Leave 'em alone, cut them, let them settle, or what? Quote Selected

To cut or not to cut Reply #5 – May 09, 2012, 10:44:48 PM I voted leave as is. I think the front is a bit low, but I like to hit speed bumps and dips at 15mph too. Always bugged me how eas the bird would hit the gas tank on bumps. Quote Selected

To cut or not to cut Reply #8 – May 10, 2012, 02:12:45 AM I'd use spring locks on the rear before I'd cut them. At least, if it does settle too much you can remove them and bring it back up. Quote Selected

To cut or not to cut Reply #10 – May 10, 2012, 06:18:28 AM In my view the rear is to high. I would do this in a heart beat. This will get you app 1-1 1/4" drop. That in my view is what you need. Just MY $.02 Quote Selected

To cut or not to cut Reply #12 – May 10, 2012, 09:41:13 AM I like a little rake to a car. I think it looks fine that way, but I think the low profile sidewall tires make the gap look too large. Quote Selected
