Why, and mfe would this same principle apply to a car with proper struts and lowering springs?




I'm sure you could find one that it wouldn't matter, but generally, yes...on the kinds of rates you usually get from a factory spring, and the kind of geometry you usually get out of a strut suspension, cutting the springs isn't going to raise their rates enough to meet the needs of the resulting drop.
