Sorry if this is a repeat and is on the site somewhere. If it is just send me a link and I'll get to cutting!
I'm currently saving for coilovers. In the mean time I want to cut my springs to eliminate some of my awesome wheel gap. Can I get an inch in the rear by cutting the springs? I only have one set of springs and I don't want to screw this up. Is it all trial and error? Do I cut the top of the spring or the bottom? Or is it a waste of time and I should just wait for my coilovers? I have a 1990 miata with 1.5 inches between the tire and the rear fender. Any thoughts? |
