I don't need to know how to do it or anything. I need to know if cutting JUST my rear springs would help my launch any. With my adj. LCA's the lower I set the rear, the better traction I get, I guess because more weight is on the rear. Now, I was thinking that because I have it set as low as possible right now, (and it's still just even with the front) if I were to cut the rear springs, then I could raise the rear c-arms for daily driving, having it at the same height as it is now. But when I hit the track, I could drop it, and since the springs are cut, then the rear could squat even more, resulting in more traction, hopefully. Theoretically I think this would work, but I don't wanna cut my springs and find out it didn't. Does anybody know if this would work or not?

the sring rate will increase if you cut your springs, so it wont plant the tires better, you will spinn out more.
