I re arched my front spring in my hydraulic press. I tried it in the vice but I guess I am too weak as that did nothing. I first did the longest spring taking about 3 inches out of the length to get it to specs. Then I did the others so each one had a little more arch than the one below it. The center bolt then pulls them all together. Don't bend it in the middle where the center hole is. Stay out about 4 inches on each side. It wasn't that hard to do and the car sits up where it should and also seems to ride better.
