    if it is a linear spring no, if it is a progressive spring yes

    this is all true, but for most basic purposes what i said is correct. most cars have progressive springs and rebound only shocks.

    only noobs cut springs

    WHen it comes to cars it's better to do things once, than to half ass things and redo it over again.

    It saves time and money.
