I feel quite guilty about creating this topic but time is of the essense and I feel you guys are best to ask! I'm fond of chopping standard springs as much as the next guy, but I've never heard about chopping coilover springs. I'm in a bit of a bind. Wheels day is, well, tomorrow and my 9" coilover springs are about 3.5" too long and I've run out of adjustment. In an ideal world I would of ordered 5-6" springs but I've only just decided to put this plan into action.
I'm tempted to follow the same principles as a normal spring chop, and make sure the top cap seats adequately. Before I go ahead tonight, is there anything I'm not aware of?
As penance, here is my E28 with severly chopped springs (I hope to emulate this drop tonight...), and proof it did actually drive

cant see any issues tbh. I had 6" springs from Merlin on the Polo, they were more expensive but the coating didn't crack off like it does on the Rally design ones. For long term springs its probably worth paying the extra £10,.
