I suggest not doing that. Doing that will add a lot of weight and that will affect your car’s braking and acceleration. It’s also not a good idea in the spring.

If I were you, I’d heat the spring properly or buy a new set of lowering springs. I highly recommend buying a new set of lowering springs though.
