Re: Rear Springs

["Bob Kraeuter" <Kraeuter.Bob@oscsystems.com>]

Matt,

I've just installed the TRF mild comp springs and have noticed that they seem to
raise the rear end of the car too high. I'd like to find a way to lower the car
back to the normal height but I'd like to keep the springs. You mentioned in
your listing that you "cut" 1/2 in. off of the springs. Did you actually shorten
the spring or did you do it with brackets? How do you shorten the spring and
keep the ends flat?

Thanks,

Bob K
'72 TR6

Tom:

I converted my early TR-6 to the post -'73 trailing arm set up, and still
had to cut ~1/2" off of my TRF uprated rear springs (cutting off 1" is
too much, I learned the hard way!).  It has always been my experience
that these springs will really jack up the rear of the car, especially
the older ones.  How satisfied are the listers with Richard Good's
springs?
