Note that taking a coil off of an 8v spring (to slightly lower an 8v equipped car), will result in a decent rate that is not too
crazy.

(in reference to the posts from earlier today) - This is entirely different than taking several coils off of a 16v spring, as it
starts at a higher spring rate before the cut, and cutting more coils as nexessary for acceptable ride height on an 8v equipped car
only amplifies the effect further.
