race springs + coilovers

so today out of boredom and since i have a long week i'm cutting up my neuspeed race spring and using them with my coilovers...

the main reason is to loose the harshness of those coilover springs due to them being short and stiff and the race springs being long and progressive...

i'll post up pics with progress

why are you cutting them?? can't you just throw them on as-is? sorry for the ignorant question, I don't know what coilovers you have....

they'd be to long i'm thinking... plus the coil over springs are flat on the top and bottom so i figure having the race springs grinded like so would be good too

well, don't guess.... lower the perch all the way down and measure the total height of the assembly... and the spring does not have to be ground down as long as it has a pre-load on it so it stays seated on the top hat.
