i got ford racing b spring on my car now but the back of the car only went down 3/4 of a inch i was told i can cut the dead coil off the top of the rear springs is this true the fornt of the car is lowered to where i want in 1-1/8"

ttt curious myself??? has anybody done this?

 

[GDTrumbo]

I wouldn't. The drop you have now is all I want for mine.

Yes, you can, but i dont reccomend it at all.

you might sacrifice ride quality.

 

[MustangChris]

it probably will sacrafice ride quality, they are progressive springs, which means if you cut them, it will compensate their engineering. .. . .. IMHO.

If anything I would say to cut the bottom of the coil

You only want it down like another 1/2 inch right?

Thats like nothing...you could cut like 1/4 coil and get that.

 

[MustangChris]

the bottom has the pig tail to sit on the LCA, would it be wise to cut the pigtail off?

 

[JDwhite98gt]

no do not cut the bottom. ONY CUT THE TOP. I have the C springs and I cut the dead coil off the top of my rear springs. Wish it was more of a drop though. C's are not specific rate but I think the rears of B's and C's are exactly the same. No difference in ride quality in the rear.
