how am i wrong? I have been around several cars that the people heated the springs and over time they broke where they were heated. I mean there is a way to do it right if you have all the stuff to re harden and get the spring rates right. Im not a dumbass on this kinda stuff. But most people wont know how to heat springs properly. So its easier and a lil safer just to cut a round or so off. Neither of those ways is a good idea though.
