A coil or not a coil

[ashleyb4]

Hi

I know i need to cut off 1.5 coils off my silver spring but i want to know does the very top coil that isnt really a coil count as the one coil or is it 1.5 coils below the first little coil.

I have taken a picture i mean does the orange bit count as a coil.

Why do you need to cut a coil off.

It stiffens the spring slightly, without having to change spring. As it's not as big a change as going to a harder spring
