As the Title states, Chopped Springs. Safe, or not? My mate has chopped his Fiesta's standard springs and has offered to do mine as im trying to save my money for my new XR2i ZVH project.
I always thought springs had flat tops and bottoms to purposely sit in the arms on the dampers, but surely if you chop them yourself, you lose the flat part, so the spring is actually sat un-evenly in the arm? Am i right in thinking this or is there some other logic somewhere along the line?
