Lol. Shorter and stiffer.

Anyway, quick question, assuming the same thickness of spring, would a shortened spring with only, say, 6 coils, work out as a similar stiffness to the standard springs with 8 coils? Side by side they just look like they've had two coils cut off, spacing is identical.

If so, would a lowering spring that needed more stiffness have to have more coils? If you stick a standard spring rate spring on a car that just has less coils it'll bottom out i presume?

Does any of what I just typed make sense?

How does that work? Doesn't that imply lopping a couple of coils off a standard spring would make them stiffer?

Intriguing. And bemusing

No no, i'm not chopping any springs, I have 60mm ones i'm trying to change for 40mm ones. Too low already. Was just wondering as the springs I have seem too soft for the amount they lower the car.

I'd have thought they'd need to be stiffer to cope with shortened stroke length (snigger) but they dont seem any firmer than standard. Just like the standard ride but a bit lower down
