Yes Bryce --- you're right of course....

1/4" or even a bit more.... but you're post might lead a guy to believe he could crank the car up or down an inch or more maybe.... since you didn't mention the "1/4". An INCH up or down in a coil over is way too much - as you know.

Many people just don't understand how little a coil over actually travels... and you start dropping a coil over an inch - and you could be bottoming out. This gets worse as a guy is trying to correct for a wrong spring rate/length.

When I post here (on Lat G) I try to make sure that ANYONE reading the posts is getting the right info because there's so many people reading without commenting etc... That is NOT to say I know what I'm talking about... and I get corrected often by people with far more knowledge than me. I try to post from my perspective - which is many years of fixing many of these very (Vari? LOL) issues on my own cars as well as those of my friends.
