So my new variable rate coil springs arrived today in the mail. Powder coated blue, oh they're so sweet :bananaman! I have been considering removing part of or all of a coil to get my front down a little, and I had assumed that it would increase the spring rate. I stumbled upon some literature today that said it would actually reduce my rate. Now, I know that it would not affect the higher end of my rate (390lbs - 520lbs) except that maybe I would get there faster, but I would hate to go any lower than 390lbs on the lower end. Can anybody tell me if this is acurate or not? Does cutting a coil reduce your rate, and if so is it possible to tell how much? Thanks! MJ
