I asked this question on a general sports car board and didn't get a lot of help. Wondering if some you may know the answer:

Let's say I try adjusting weight balance by by using springs with different free lengths. For example, in the case of my Golf, I want to run 500 lb springs on the front, 400 rear. If the free length of the driver's side springs is 10" (I'm using hypothetical numbers here), and the pass. side had, say, 7" springs, would this have effect of jacking the weight to the right side? What I'm trying to do is achieve weight balance, or as close as I can get, without spending the money for coilovers.

Springs are available from Speedway Motors in lenghts from 5 to 14" and in just about any rate at a cost of about $40 each.

Am I all whacked out in my thinking? Would that work?
