wow…
clearly you know nothing about how different metals work and react to heat.
if you heat your springs you’re going to change them…and i dont mean make them shorter. you’re going to actually change the molecular makeup of the spring. they’ll ride WAY stiffer, they’ll be 10 times more brittle (an inherently bad quality in a spring) and they wont have NEARLY the same rebound as before.
you know those cars you see going over bumps and look like they’re riding on cinder blocks? that’ll be you. except when you’re inside the car you’ll feel all the effects listed above. especially when you’re on the side of the road witha broken spring.
i’m not dishing out hear-say or guesses. This is what WILL happen. you’re car will ride like shit and handle even worse.
the entire purpose of lowering your car is to make it handle better…with heated springs it WILL handle worse than stock. And because of the new characterisitcs of the springs you are now putting your shocks through a much harder job of trying to control the crazy oscilations of your new springs. you’ll blow your shokcs sooner, be more likley to crash, and probably break something expensive on your car.
just buy springs. you say you have the money, so do it right instead of being a fag and coping out.
if you want to be different, then buy coil-overs and have your car corner weighted so it handles amazingly well…
btw i’m an engineer…so yes i know what i’m talking about.
LOL, engineer or engineering STUDENT?
I’m gonna go with student, and not a very good one at that either, because you learn the difference between annealing and quenching in first year. Or atleast I did
