I think you meant the rates do not go up, only reduces the amount of stroke before coil bind. You haven’t changed the rate which is the issue, constantly hitting the bump stops sucks.

Have you ever tested a spring after you cut it?

The spring rate does go up..Adversely the spring LOAD goes down. Thus the huge problem with modifying springs.

I was told that it is perfectly fine to hit the bump stops on the track while turning... I wouldn't know since I don't track.
