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? |

Prior to getting my suspension, I had shocks with dampening capabilities as well as some cut Megan Springs. I didn't have a problem and I was sitting super gnar.
Only thing you have to worry about is blowing your shock and of course the way your car will ride. I cut mine from the top, but you have to watch out how many you cut because when you lower your car you wanna make sure the spring is lock in place and not popped out.. lol This is how I was sitting with cut springs/shocks set to all the way stiff..  P.S I am selling my cut spring/shock suspension combo, if you're interested in buying it.. I do need Christmas monies
