Mark, What do you mean by "...big center donut..."? Is there some generic spacer which can work in this application? I see the centering post on the swingarms. I'm guessing you are suggesting a larger washer in the form of a rubber "donut" can take up the space between that post and the resulting larger coil when the tapered coil is cut off.

Cut 2 off first, see what happens, then 1 more and see what happens. Repeat as needed until you are happy with the height. Then add a big center donut inside the bottom coil that is left, centering it on the lower spring post of the control arm. > > Mark > >> |
