How much do you cut off the Mid America alum brackets used w/ lowering wedges.have searched and can only find one ref of cut .80", just want to confirm Thank you Craig

I honestly don't know... I would call MA and ask them.

No point calling anyone, youll have to figure this bit out on your own, cause most springs will be different. I cut mine down 6.5mm

What you need to do, is measure the thickness of the stock blocks on the top of the spring, BEFORE you cut them off, the measure the height of the wedges and what ever the difference is, is how much you cut from the brackets.

Then, you glue the wedges to the FRAME and NOT the spring, i dont care what any instructions say, if its good enough for Dick Guldstrand to glue them to the frame then race the car, its good enough for everyone else. Even if the wedge comes loose from the frame, it cant fall out as long as you cut the retainer brackets down enough, and it cant move enough to even matter.

All the shims that come out from above the spring (if there are any) should go on the under side of the aluminum brackets, or you may find youll run out of thread on the bolts.

I agree with Case's comments about measuring and cutting the brackets IOT fit your car.

Its the most accurate way mate yeah, that way its custom to the spring in question.

As always I get in a hurry ,when waiting for parts and having all answers. I cut the old rubber off the spring. Thanks for info. will cut small amount off and test till I get good compression. Craig

Ok, then just tape the wedges to the tops of the spring and measure that way.

Cut approx 7mm from bracket and things tightened up fine. glad I did not cut .800" off as inst. said to . Again Thanks Craig
