Hi,
As the subject. Back in the day people I grew up around used to lower their cars by heating up a coil or two. And they weren't rubbish cars. I saw people do them on Cosworths and other fast cars of those days. I was speaking to a mate of mine who just bought a jag s type and he told me that he will be lowering his car by heating the springs. He said he's always done it to his cars.
I never really heard of anyone's spring snapping or having any adverse effects on their ride. Do you guys have any stories, opinions or experiences?
P.s I'm not thinking of doing this. Just want to learn a bit more about this method of lowering.
