I had no idea the springs he had are linear rate. You're right spinemup. I still wouldn't buy a linear rate spring that had to be cut, but if that's what supposed to happen. Go for it. About the ricers. In any car if you put a smaller spring in and don't adjust the suspension, you will get incorrect camber. That is the way the suspension is designed. It cambers in when the spring is compressed. You could have camber probs on a stang too if you drop it enough. That's what caster/camber plates are for. Am I right?
