Hi list,

   Recently a list member mentioned that cutting a stock front coil by one 
coil would in fact lower the car by 1 inch and that it would also increase 
the spring rate substantially.
   I am by no means a physics expert and therefore confused as to this issue. 
Can someone explain why merely cutting a spring shorter increases the spring 
rate? Are we talking about the rebounding rate of spring?
