I am rebuilding my suspension. I am considering replacing the 21 year old springs with Moog type oem. I was also considering lowering my car 1 inch. I don't want to make my car handle like the ultimate racer. Just really after the looks. I also dont want to sacrifce the ride since my goal is to make a cruiser. If I cut off 1/4 to 1/2 of coil, will I change the rate? Would I be better off buying lowering springs?
