yeah my boss also has 8 years engineering. big deal

if its in no way a good idea why do a whole bunch of ppl do it? like on overhaulin for example. its not as good as lowering springs but its not a bad idea. and if heating it changes it than how is it formed? i would have thought metal had to be heated at some point for it to be made into things such as springs. but you know i could be wrong.

also i said i did not want to drive on COILOVERS for the winter. do you know what would happen to coilovers if you winterdrove them? i thought i said i only wanted the loweringsprings for the winter and come summer i would buy coils.
