    is that actually possible? i wouldve thought that to compress them you would have to add a constant weight to them. i dont see how you compress them and have them stay like that

    get a clamp and clamp some of it ??

    or maybe weld some parts of it together ?

    either way, it seems kind of pointless. new springs dont cost that much anyway

    try a wreckers for some second-hand set of lowered springs, alot sheaper and safer than getting your standard springs compressed...

    Getting springs compressed would cost of buying a pair of lowered springs. When getting springs compressed they would eventually over time it would return to its normal height.
    Try Brooklyn Springworks or BrownSprings in Thomastown.
