looks good, how much stiffer is the front suspension after cutting another 1/4 coil?? This winter I have a similar project planed only in my case I am upgrading the springs from 350# per inch to 400# per inch so I can raise my front end a little bit.

Honestly I don't really notice much of a difference. I would describe the front suspension as firm not stiff. I'm not sure if that firmness is a result of the total suspension rebuild or shortening the springs? Those old springs must have been really soft before the coil chop so if I stiffened them up a bit, I guess they needed it! Lol
BTW...I'm looking forward to your spindle modification to address the turning radius issue from the rack swap. How is that coming along?

Did you get this fixed? I had the same problem as well a while ago.

have not had a chance to work on the spindle mod yet. Was really busy with football and now that that is over my daughter is playing high school basketball so my wife and I have been traveling a lot. A week ago we drove 4 hours, watched a 1&1/2 hour game, then turned around and drove home. Next week we have a 6 hour drive... each way, and thats not even the furthest schools in our devision. There is one town with three schools in our devision thats 8 hours away but we wont play them thankfully.
