Vogtlands

The 123 has the right setup to make cutting coils viable - a lower cup design that doesn't require a pigtailed spring end and plenty of both spring and travel to work with. There's a whole dissertation in that thread somewhere about the way a coil spring works, and if you'll notice, stiff 'race' or 'sport' springs typically have fewer coils than the stock models they're designed to replace.The vogtlands are stiffer/thicker. I have cut coils on a variety of stock springs and even tool 1/2 coil off the vogtlands. All of the stock springs just ended up to mooshy. In many states it is illegal to cut springs.
