    Why not try welding two springs inside of each other? Like dual valve springs?

      ^ Now your talking. Lower and stiffer spring rate. I'm all about that.

        I've driven my e30 when my brand new RSM's blew and rode home just on springs. Can't say it was very fun doing so. Was literally bouncing with every little bump!

          'Zactly. Shit, maybe you can do like an outer, front spring with a rear on the inside?

          The possibilities.

If he is at speed when one side snaps it could send the car into a slide and cause who knows what kind of harm to him and other people on the road.

              Or they could, you know, break when they're loaded up going through a corner, then wheel rate goes to infinity, and you spin into a crowd full of children.

                Isn't that usually called a flock? or maybe it was a herd....

If it fails and brakes.. oh well cant do anything about it. I dont need these. I already have different springs/coilovers on.

                              I just don't see what the big deal is, if i'm not going to be using them. Im just trying something out with some springs i don't need to see what happens and how it does. No ones getting hurt if i'm just driving around the neighborhood a couple times to see the how it feels/handles. If they break its not a big deal. who gives a fuck! i don't need them anyway. IM NOT USING THEM! i have coilovers on! People cut springs and i was gonna try this to see what happens.
