Many years ago Boyd Fechner had a proven and tested design he configured. I would like to say first that he was a amazing inventor of coupe assemblies. i was there when he did Carl Nelsons 2000CS . He had rebuilt the whole door jamb to accept the newer door latch we have. ask carl about it.
Anyway, back to the point, I asked him to lower my car. He took the 3.0S springs and cut them about a half of one loop.
then ground it flat and mounted them. What happened is the car is exactly 1" lower and level and the ride is extremely responsive in stability, and doesnt sway at all. and i drive extremely hard. Also it has a nice supple ride.
He mentioned the bavaria springs were made a lot stronger, hence the opportunity to trim them. Im not sure anyone would still try this, but i would guess it would be a fairly inexpensive task. i just know how amazing my unique ride is.
Maybe Carl got his idea from Boyd, Q"uen Sabe
