RiceBox,

This is a lil trickey to explain, but I will try.
It works becasue you are keeping the same spring rod diameter, but you are getting rid of some of the springs compliance due to the fact that you are missing coils(or part of a coil). If I can find my source for this info I will share it. BTW this is what happens. If you have a spring with 10 coils and you remove 1 coil, that spring will be 10% stiffer.
