proper spring heating technique?

[pj2nr]

if anyone has heated their springs for lowering,let me know how ya did it.heat'em while their on or take'em off? any help would be sweet

dude i dont recomend doing this but its your choice.....from what i know u leave them on so the weight of the car will push down on them to lower the car. after u get the spring where u want it u spray it with water to get it to set. i dont know the full process but i hope this helps u

spend the money on some lowering springs unless you want an uncomfortable ride and unpredictable suspension.....

"proper spring heating procedure"



there is no such thing because it shouldn't be done ...

is this just a joke ?????

 

[pj2nr]

nope just curious how people did it, but thank you anyway for youre criticism

I always thought people just cut a couple of the springs off (still not a good idea since it raises the spring rate) since heating the springs changes the metal properties, ie, fatiguing the heated portion.

DO NOT HEAT THE SPRINGS!

If you want a ghetto lowering job cut them. But you MUST keep the spring cool (cold) Run water over it constantly while you cut. Listen to ImportModder.

Spend the money and ensure that you don't go flying off the road or into someone when your spring snaps from cutting it.
