The type of ends a coil spring has is determined by how the springs are mounted in the suspension. A coil spring can have 2 of the same ends or it can have 2 different ends.
The only Coil Spring Ends that can be safely cut are Tangential Ends.
Because Square ends and Pigtail ends are designed to make full contact with their mounting points, they would have to be re-shaped after they were cut. But in order to re-shape them the steel would have to be heated and heat is a spring's worst enemy.
So, Coil springs with Square or Pigtail ends can not be safely cut.
Прашав и кај пријател механичар, исто и тој прво ги виде краевите на спиралите и кажа дека слободно можи да се скратат.. не премногу се разбира, ама до кај пола круг нема гајле. То на discovery на какви коли при реставрација, ги сечат спиралите а не на овие нашите прдешките.
