how much spring do i cut?


Recommended Posts

Tommorow i am cutting my front springs, and installing Mercedes springs in the rear of my 79 zx. I want 1" drop. Im going to cut the Mercedes springs equal to the stock rear springs in my zx. Then i am going to take off as much as i would need to result in a 1" drop. What should i cut on the front springs, and what should i cut on the rear springs, for a 1" drop?

i would cut the spring so its the same exact size as the zx spring, then cut out 1 more whole coil. that should get you the height you want. if it doesnt you might have to cut off 1/2 of another coil. be sure to try it with 1 coil removed first. have fun, if my back wasnt jacked up i would come down and help you.
