Compressing Springs On Coilover Suspension

[R-SPEC]

hello

ive got ohlin coilovers on the rear wich arent height adjustabe. ive removed the helper springs which lowered the height a bit but still not too happy with it

im looking at getting them compressed. just curious to know if there are any major negative affects if i was to do this?

How are you planning to compress the springs? You can only do it by:

1. Cut the spring to shorten it. (There is absolutely nothing wrong with this approach, as long as the spring can remain captive at full suspension droop. The downside is that you increase the stiffness of the spring.)

2. Reset the height under heat.

The problem is probably that the springs you have are too stiff. If you got a set of slightly softer springs, then the car would sit lower.
