Members with Cut Moog Springs

What combo have you used and did cutting affect the ride negatively? I know cutting is supposed to increase spring rate but how much? Do you feel they are better or worse then aftermarket brands? I personally have 5664 in the front and 5665 in the rear of mine. I love it.

Re: Members with Cut Moog Springs

The ride height looks good in the pictures. Are they cut?

As far as rates increasing when cutting, there are plenty of threads, I've (as well as others) written a lot of recommendations on cutting springs here. The short version, spring rate goes up much faster cutting the rears than the fronts and too high rates in the front is MUCH safer than in the rear.

Thanks and they are cut. Rides well but it is really soft in the rear but I have the KYB GR2's in the back which might be the issue with the car being lowered. Going to put the Gas-a-Just in the back which should stiffen it up a bit.

Re: Members with Cut Moog Springs

How much are they cut? Might be a useful data point for people thinking of using those springs.
