[FC] Cutting rear coils

[Ken Hand]

If I were you I would think of heating and bending the coils to get the desired camber. When you cut coils you increase the spring rate or stiffness of the springs and the rear is plenty stiff as it is. 

Other than getting the camber set so you are not positive, the best thing you could do is add the front and rear sway bars.

Subject: [FC] Cutting rear coils


I would like to autocross my Rampside.  I have been told that cutting the rear 
oils would improve the ride and handling on a FC, of course, at the expense of 
ayload capacity. Is there a recommended amount to cut? Any other 
ecommendations on improving a Rampside suspension?GMoore
