Re: Build front suspension before or after mounting the engine?

This should help explain it from a suspension supplier Global West Suspension . A LOT of guys are riding around with cut coils . Cutting your old coils will provide drop but also increase a firm ride = good thing . Buying new drop springs can leave you with the drop and less of a firm ride = bad thing.
