heating is NOT a good idea. The heat makes the spring brittle and prone to cracking when under load. I have seen many instances of cars being lowered this way and the car ends up with broken springs (not good when driving around corners!

Retensioned is the other way of doing it, which will cost more, but will have safer results...at the end of the day though, nothing will beat a good set of proper aftermarket lowering springs
