IH8PunkRok Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 i heard that cutting progressive springs is bad but non progressive isnt so bad by progressive i mean the coil gap gets smaller towards the end Quote -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azagtoth502 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 You can get away with cutting the coils a small amount.....too much though and you can ruin the suspension geometry. Drop spindles are the preferred method. I wouldn't cut more than an inch off the coils....also don't heat the coils.
