save yourself about $300 and cut out 1 or 3/4 of a coil, has the same effect. https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ad.php?t=18650

and another good write up by Bazzle on benzworld http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r170...val-front.html

this tool makes life easier, you might want to rent it from the dealer.

Hmm ? I was always told that cutting or heating springs create long term damage to the springs ?

Anyone has cut theirs here ?

How about the shocks ? Any shocks in particular, somehting tells me those would have to be change as I change the springs...

Good thought, spring compressor...

you never heat springs, that's a total amatuer move. cutting is OK,

As for shocks I would use an adjustable sport shock.
