Over a year later, I drive hard canyons roads with no performance degradation, uneven tire wear or any other issues.


Thanks for the update. But you said in the linked post that you did have uneven wear. You choose to attribute it to driving conditions and not the suspension. How did you differentiate what caused the uneven wear?

The uneven wear you have is very telling - and supports my contention that cutting springs is a bad idea. Here's why
Shoulder wear on the inner or outer edge of a tire is often interpreted as camber misalignment. Too much positive camber can accelerate wear on the outer shoulder of a tire just as too much negative camber can accelerate wear on the inner shoulder. Underlying causes can include bent struts, mislocated strut towers, bent spindles, collapsed control arm bushings, even weak springs.

You guys are just not convincing me.
