I have an extra set of front springs for my 88 formula. I saw on here to lower just the front to cut off one coil. If I cut half on top and half on the bottom would this make a difference at all or just cut the one coil at the top and leave it at that?? Thanks, Dave

Well if you like making work for yourself you can cut twice. But either way you do it you'll get the same result.

IIRC, the Formula springs are kind of flat on one end. Cut the coil from the other end.

Cut one coil off the spring. After it's cut, heat the spring so it's red about 1/2 way around the loop then quickly push it down on a concrete floor to flatten it. Don't worry about getting the spring too hot, you won't affect the temper of the spring anywhere it hasn't changed color from the heat.

You should really add a "smiley wink" or "sarcasm note" when posted messages like that.

Believe it or not, some younger folks reading this might think your serious.

Never heat your spring, will ruin it, the object is to keep it cool as possible. Wrap a cold rag around the area your working on so it acts like a heat sink. Use a cutting wheel and take your time, take breaks from cutting often.
