Maybe its knowing that your spring wont snap on you in the middle of a turn and your car wont pop a curb and take out a mother and her baby, maybe its because everyone uses springs manufactured by professionals (well at least most people do) because they know their car will actually ride better (god forbid handle better) than the stock oem springs.

iv done it before on machines but never on cars thats why im asking they wont snap trust me. the springs are in good shape and heating them dosent do much strenth wise for them anywho.

if you never take risks and fuck up you never go anywhere
