Cutting springs will be our budget suspension "upgrade" for the car's next outing (if we can solve the oil issue).
Right but then you have to add the cages weight in there. Not sure what it is but I'm sure it brings you back up pretty close to that 200 you took out.
It's close, but combing the stock length springs with old, tired/blown shock you get terrible body roll and a higher than stock ride height.
Note the height...even with all the down force from the wing.
And here with all our safety gear as we rolled through tech...no wheel gap there...
