As long as we're on the subject of coil springs, what's the consensus on
lowering the front of a Spitfire? I'd like to drop it about 1" to 2". Is
there a source for shorter springs? Can the coils be cut without compromising
their integrity? Are there any alignment ramifications associated with such an
act?
Thanks in advance,
John
