[QUOTE="tJKrider, post: 463875, member: 25640"] Depends on the metallurgical composition of the steel and how rapidly it's allowed to cool. For instance if someone "helps" cool it quicker so it can be handled that could spell trouble... Also goes without saying that someone would have to have a mechanism to accurately monitor temperature throughout the coil which I can already assume won't happen. For a vehicle with potentially large articulation this is just a terrible idea. Maybe for some street only vehicle that only uses a small portion of the spring travel. Even then it would just be safer and more straightforward to buy the correct spring. I'll argue that someone with the knowledge to correctly heat and stress relieve the spring can also perform a simple spring swap. [/QUOTE]
