Default Suspesion Problems

I currently have Eibach Prokit and (fox body) Strange 10 Adjustables but the suspesion feels to bouncy and stiff. Is there anyway I could fix that. Someone told me to get the stock ones and cut them just a little higher than the eibachs but that sounded kinda cheap. [/align]

I don't know how to fix your problems, but I would be willing to bet that cutting springs is not the answer. You really won't be doing any good. If I remember correctly from my physics days...the amount of spring action or force exerted by the spring when compressed is dependant on how many coils the springs has. There are many more things to consider, but I am limiting this because you are just considering cutting the spring off. So, if you start cutting the length of the spring you will be completely changing the bound/rebound affect the spring will have on your handling. I am no mechanic or physicist, but I definitely would not go cutting the length out. I say do it right or don't do it at all. Sorry, I am not more help to you on this subject. Good luck

How can it be bouncy and stiff at the same time.
