    What to do with old coil springs?

    so my roommate and i are looking for ideas of what to do with a bunch of old coil springs we have laying around. all different sizes. a pair from a 4Runner, set from an AE86, set from my e30, set from a Yaris, and a set from a WRX wagon. so thats 10 springs in all.

    so have any of you guys done any cool things with your left over coils?
    i was thinking of making some sort of furniture with them, but don't have any good ideas so far.

          Weld them around your chassis and body panel, find some ice, and go bouncy demolition derbying.

              Coffee table legs? That'd be a cool table.

                See how high you can bounce them.

                I don't recommend doing this anywhere near your car.

                          hahaha my ex said the same thing when I wanted to make a basketweave night-stand. As cool as it sounds, when you say yes to car part furniture you say yes to celibacy.

                          In reality sell those things for scrap and go buy some beer.

                            Light fixtures.

                            Cover the inside with mesh, cap on on the bottom with a hole, wire coming up, 6" florescent light inside the mesh, cable to the ceiling.

                            Paint the coils whatever. Might look cool over a bar.

                              Best idea yet, and I love car furniture...
