Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: 77 amx springs

[Davis Martin <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

 My would be to call Espo Springs and explain your goal and I am sure they can make you the desired spring to drop the height you would like .The caster and camber can be readjusted but the main reason is when you cut a spring you weaken it and change the compressive pressure and thus a rougher ride and rougher handling.

If cutting the front springs is bad, are there any springs that I
can swap out that will lower the front safely (the car has a/c-maybe
non-a/c springs?). I only want to lower the front about 1-2". I
realize that the front geometry will change-can adjustments to
camber, caster, toe-in/out compensate for these changes?

Thanks,
Dan
