<VV> lowering the front end

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Since cutting the spring raises the effective rate, as well as  changing 
the range of motion, trimming the bump stop on the shock absorber  - or 
changing to the Koni bump stop (it comes with new Koni fronts) makes sense.  
Remember that the "Shock absorber" is really a damper (or dampener, depending on  
your beliefs) and if you raise the spring rate, you need to apply a stiffer 
 dampening agent to the higher rate spring. So crank the Konis to half  way 
and install them. You can always pay money and have Konis re-valved!  And 
watch out for potholes!

The guys  that cut the springs usually end up just cutting the bump stops 
to 'fix  it.'
