[QUOTE=leathermang;2634896]Cutting off spring will not make the spring stiffer.

I disagree with this. Hey I could be wrong but everybody else says cutting off some of the spring will make what is left stiffer in its compressive state. It is true it reduces wheel travel and will change the steering geometry a little, but the car is designed to operate with up to about 1200# load so operating correctly with different ride heights is part of the reality of suspension design if you are working with springs and passive dampers.

Now if you have adustable air bags and the necessary controls you can keep the ride height constant but we are not talking about that.
