I'm pretty decently mechanically inclined so if you could lead me in the right direction I beleive I can accomplish this on my own... otherwise I would take it to a shop and see what they charge...

Also how do the springs hold up after being heated. Will I loose any of the advantages to the handling.

preciate it....
I'm actually not far from Gwinnett. And those Benzo-matic torches (propane) are exactly what I use to do the job, lolol. As someone said, I've been doing it for years (almost 25 of them) and have never had any problems. I've kept cars for 3-4 years with original factory springs heated and never a problem. I won an SCCA region championship on heated springs, lolol.

If you want, send me a PM of about the area you're in and I should be able to meet up with you and show you how I do this. Later, QD.
