[QUOTE="BigJ, post: 152190, member: 62"] Subscribed. Very cool stuff, well explained and thought out. My only concern is your cold setting approach. I know this is commonly done in neighborhood shops, but in my experience its used as a temporary fix, not a permanent solution. And usually aren't the springs re-arched to their original state? Not further beyond it? I suppose my concern is that spring steel has a memory, and unless you use heat to erase that memory and reset it, its going to try and return to its relaxed (sagged) state, no? But if you've braced it so that it cannot relax, now all the stress has moved from the no-longer-springy steel to the clamps/mounts/etc keeping it from relaxing. Is re-heat treating cost prohibitive?
