I'm going to cut my springs for the season.
it's a 245 wagon, and I"m running 18x8.5 et6 wheels with 225/40/18 tires.

2 coils up front
1 in the back?

seems to be the common choice, but I haven't seen anyone with 18's here do it yet...

thoughts?
 
Probably a starting point....

I will await the long RWC or 240240 rant about cutting sprangs. #layitindaweedz

F = 2.0

R = 1.5

I'm not one to cheap out and cut corner (no pun intended) yet cutting springs is something I'd never ever do as an aging automotive enthusiast.


after all the GOOD I've read on the subject and how the volvo 200 series seems to praise in favor, I yield my decision as....why the heck not.

if it's that bad afterwards, IPD has 245 springs in stock after all.

It will transform your 240 into a handles like it's riding on rails becauseraacecar? overnight.
