[QUOTE="Blue Smoke, post: 24464, member: 21093"] I've had just enough brandy tonite, that some of this thread is making me go "WhaaaT?" I think there's some chain pulling going on! 1. no offense, but cutting a spring in half does not change the rate, just the total load capacity. 2. wire size, alloy, modulus of ridgidity/elasticity, coil pitch, and temper are all design ways of getting a specific rate. 3. once you have a given dia. and rate, you get load capacity from rate X #of coil spaces. 4. back to original Q. about spring lenght, given the limits of thread lenght on the shock body, there's only so much range in lenght that a spring of equal rate can vary and still fit the shock. IF this makes any n% difference in handling, I'd love to understand why???? [/QUOTE]
