    The thing is that I have noticed that when you heat springs the car becomes REALLY bouncy because when you heat them, I guess it ruins their tensile strength. But I have done it also and it works.

    In my twenty years (had to boast this info) of lowering cars this way, I've ALWAYS found it quite the opposite. I've always had a rougher, bouncier ride with cut over heat. I quit cutting years ago. My 79 is heated. There is a lot of times you'd never even know it. I also have a certain way/patter that I use to heat to help the ride quality. Later, QD.
    FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!

    Well I guess it depends on the car or just each individuals opinion. What pattern do you use?
