I bought a used aftermarket Mustang II front clip cut from a Model A and put it on the front of my A frame. I am now putting it together and I notice that the springs have been cut (now about 9 1/2 to 10 inches tall)which I read somewhere that it is common to cut them.. Without full weight the lower A arm (stock style) points down. The spring coil then sits on the inside but is raised off the arm on the outside as the spring is not vertical between the lower arm and the tower. My expectation is that as weight is added the lower arm will approach horizontal, the spring approach vertical and will seat more evenly. I have dropped as mockup my buick v6 (no transmission) and it's not there yet. Is this normal? Wondering why in pictures that I have in a chassis book they show an aftermarket IFS with the springs seated even though no weight. Lower arm points down but I can see a bend in the spring which allows it to be seated both top and bottom even though arm is down. I cannot see how my spring will bend like that one.
