    I agree with Billy…very good explanation. Not over-communicating at all.

    Re: Coil spring cutting tips

    You would need to measure under compression in order to get an exact dimensional result. Measuring free length will not result in the ride height being as low as desired since the spring will already be shorter once compressed.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
