Which practice is unsound when lowering a vehicle?

  • A.Cutting the original coil springs
  • B.Fitting shorter springs designed for the purpose, together with dampers of a correspondingly shorter stroke
  • C.Correcting the alignment afterwards
  • D.Fitting bump stops of a reduced height, which restores part of the travel lost when the vehicle was lowered

Answer: A

Cutting a spring leaves an unground end, raises the rate unpredictably and can let the spring come loose from its seat at full droop. Purpose made springs and matched dampers are the correct route. Alignment must be reset afterwards in any case. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once. A symptom that appears under one condition and not another is what narrows the diagnosis quickly.
