Front end height question

[Mike Merk]

If you trim coil springs, a very accurate rule of thumb is that for every inch you want to reduce ride height, cut half an inch of spring height. For a 2" ride height reduction, cut 1" of coil spring height off.

Yes,
that?s another rule of thumb to go on.
Thank for bringing that up

Marty, One of the pains was every other year replacement of the front spring on the F-Body. I wondered if this was still down in the box, so I just walked down and looked. Here's my old templet for the Moroso 210s in that car of Hunztberrys. With the Morosos, on this car, I found you could cut...not much movement. Cut the same amount.... not nearly enough. Another inch, same thing. Simply cut that same amount and the car drops 2 solid inches! You just ruined a set of springs. For that reason, I kept a templet. If I would have kept it, this was going to be on the to do list. Landrums ....

I?ll be starting with a pair of 200?s to replace the cut old Moroso spring that are almost on the bump stops.
